My DS18 was exactly the same, three years ago I wrote a very similar post to this. He repeated Yr 9 twice, didn't want to do Yr10 but I basically forced him because I wanted him to at least have a Yr10 pass, which he didn't get. He went on to do Tafe and thoroughly enjoyed it and also excelled, made us so proud. We told him before leaving school that he needs to be either working or doing some sort of course. If he doesn't pass Yr12 this year and doesn't want to repeat please don't push him, maybe he could try some different courses to find an employment path he enjoys. You are certainly not alone, wishing you all the best.
