Heres the problem:

I have a friend, hes still in High School. He only have 1 more semester to go and hes done with it. But whadayaknow, he just droped out 2 or 3 weeks ago. This is shocking because he have really good grades. Since freshmen year until junior year, he always average at least a 3.5 or higher. Since last summer, hes been drinking a lot, at least twice a week, using fake ID to buy beer and cheap wine.
Then a couple months ago, hes been smoking and doing marijuana, plus more drinking. I think those stuff made him dumber or something because last quarter, he flunked his Calculus class, having trouble in his Government class (don't know why, that class was a breeze for me and I still have all the tests, essays, homeworks and project in that class that I'll gladly give it to him to help him study, but hes a dumb ass and didn't take advantage of what I've offered him). He kept on complaining to me about have stress over school and many a times I've told him that its his own fucking fault and he should stop drinking and doing weed. Well he didn't listen to that advise and now he drop out of high school.
This really make me sad because he was so dedicated last year, honors student, in the National Honors Society and he have a 4 year scholarship from Bill Gates (achiever's scholarship). To top it off, he develop this attidude about teachers that makes me wanna kick his ass every time he make a remark about my favorite teachers.

So there's the problem. A kid with a bright future now stays home and booze every week.

How can I get him to "wake up" ?

thanks for taking your time and read this.

oh yeah...he says he's gonna finish his remaing classes at the local community college so he can graduate but I highly doubt that.
