My son keeps lying to me about how he's doing in college. What should I do?

My son is in his third year of school. Semester after semester he keeps making the same mistakes. He's getting C's and D's in his classes. He even failed a few classes. However, during the semester I ask him how he is doing in his classes, and he tells me "I'm doing well, I learned from my mistakes." But towards the end of the semester he comes up to me and tells me he hasn't been doing well in some of his classes and is going to end up with a poor grade. He keeps lying to me and he keeps repeating the same mistakes.He started screwing up during his first semester of his freshman year in his first Biology class and his English class. Once he knew he was on the verge of failing them, he stepped his game up and worked hard to pass those classes with a C. He did pretty well during his second semester and seemed to learn from his mistakes. He lost his scholarship after his first year, but appealed it and got it back for his Sophomore year.His second year he started screwing up again, and lost his scholarship again. He was not able to appeal again. He was lying to me again about how he was doing and then came up to me at the end of the semesters to tell me the truth. I was upset with him. He's now in his third year, without his scholarship and just relying on financial aid. He's still messing up. This is starting to get ridiculous and he's starting to make me mad. He's wasting a lot of money to not take his classes seriously.He's taking out loans, and I took out a loan for him to be able to go to school. I feel like I'm wasting my money. I want him to earn his degree and have an education beyond high school. He's studying Biology and is undecided on whether he wants to be a Nurse or a PA.His overall GPA is a 2.96. He has been doing poorly. My son used to be a great student. He maintained a 3.9 GPA in high school, and graduated number seven in his class. Ever since he started college, everything has been going downhill from there. I'm very upset with him for lying to me, wasting his and my money, and doing poorly. I don't know what to do with him. How can I help my son do better with his studies? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2HgPzDw
