In my county they actually have sent people to 1/2 way houses similar to drug addicts for video game addictions. Now, I'm only using that to make a point that more may be going on here. It is possible this kid has emotionally checked out or become addicted and some form of an intervention may be needed. Of course this is all speculation in this specific case, but it is not without precedent. | |

My expectation would be that once he loses somewhat his home safety net, then he will start trying to figure out “what he wants to do.” But a lot of kids are depressed as teens too, and I think most have to get past that before they can effectively direct their energy | |
