Take the cell phone and social media away. When I was 16...we wanted to drive to go hang out with our friends. Get away from parents. It was freedom.

Yeah, I hear you. I tried to explain to him the world that having a license opens up--wasn't buying it (he never hangs out with friends). Then, I explained to him that we live in Arizona--it's big, with crappy public transportation. Told him once he's 16 (he is now), he's getting a job. How'd he plan on getting to that job after school; on the weekends? Moved on to how's he plan on getting back/forth to college, and whatever job he had there, etc.
That was months ago, and a couple weeks ago, he says he'll get his license. He understands the NEED, but still doesn't have the WANT. BUT, he doesn't have a B average, so won't be driving, lol. (Yes, I'm an ass)
