He sounds depressed. Or maybe sheltered.
-
Given the spelling and punctuation issues in this question, I'd say go to school with him, so you can learn as well.
-
let him marry the first poor fool girl that crosses his path. they can go live with her parents and sponge off them.

My brothers went through this phase. You have to make him do something. As harsh as it sounds, you do have to be the parent here. Either make him go to school or make him get a job. If he still doesn't comply, then start taking things away and make him pay for his own things. Have him talk to a counciler too; they'll be sure to tell him how hard it'll be in life w/o an education, and they may also get to the root of the problem.

Make him go back to high school or get a GED, then send him to college.

That is a hard one. I have had to go through it three times. What works for us is to take away every single privilege they have - no TV, no computer, no electricity in their bedroom. With my oldest son, we even took off his door, because he slammed shut. He ran away to a teen home, and came back within the month, because he met with teens who came from really bad homes, and realized what a good deal he really had. Maybe something along the lines of volunteer work at a teen home would help your son.

Take him around to the wrong side of the tracks. Expose him to the harsh realities of this world, and the consequences for not getting an education. Hold nothing back: Take him to the hostels, the drug clinics, the public hospitals, the slums, break his cushy, narrow world. If he is to become a man, he needs to start acting like one, and that entails broadening his scope to outside his everyday life.
