I'm sorry. Teens are hard. :P The only thing that worked here was to take away what was nearest and dearest to their hearts. Like their video games, car keys, fill in the blank. And even then it was a temporary fix, and they'd get lax again and we'd struggle all over again. Every year my son did seem to get a bit better about turning things in and keeping track of assignments etc. He is a freshman in college now and I"m hoping he can hold it together there....time will tell. We can't do it for them or make them do it. So hard!!!! Hugs!
