My son was still in high school at 19, not really trying to pass. My husband gave him the choice of either passing, or getting a job and paying rent. He moved out. A couple of years later, he showed back up and we let him move in "temporarily" because he had a job. When he quit the job and stayed in his room on the computer, we invited him to leave again and he did. I think it's the parents fault that they didn't throw this guy out a lot sooner! They have learned that the best way to help your child is out the door if you need to.
