It's hard to get through to them before they're ready. The good thing is that he does well at school so he probably has the ability to go on to college when he's ready.
I can't tell you how many kids I know who just weren't ready at age 18 to apply themselves at college. Most of them decided college was a pretty good idea after a few years in the workforce, and paid their own way to college this time. I know one man who skipped that stage by sending his kids to work on fishing boats during high school vacations. Every one of them is now a college graduate, with no nagging on his part at all. (grin)
Don't worry too much about him. He just sounds young.
