His mother has also said she won't buy him a car when he turns 16 in 8 months if she can't trust him to be responsible.

Who are his best friends? What do they do? Why is he in boarding school?
This is a really stupid comparison, nothing close to the same situation, but this worked on my 15 year old brother, they have such strange minds...
Last April he was diagnosed with diabetes. Already developed to the stage where he needed to take insulin, check blood levels, eat the proper foods, etc.
As a football player and wrestler, built like a mother, he obviously ate a lot of food. My family all have huge sweet tooths. He loves candy, ice cream, etc.
So, he comes to visit me for a couple weeks this past summer. I didn't know much about diabetes, but had a general idea of what should and shouldn't be done. So, my brother, genius that he is, thinks he's getting away with murder since there's no parents around.
Haha, little shit must have forgotten that I'm a HELL of a lot harder on him than my parents have ever been.
Repeatedly, he'd stroll into the living room with Mountain Dew and Snickers in hand thinking that would be his lunch. I don't know how many times I had to bitch at him about eating right, no junk food, etc.
I finally got sick of his shit. Looked him in the eye and asked if he wanted to stay in beautiful San Diego, go to ball games, beaches, etc, for the next two weeks. Of course he said yeh. I basically said if he didn't start eating right, cutting all the crap, I would buy him a ticket for a redeye to Chicago without thinking twice.
He drank Diet Pepsi and ate cheese for the next two weeks.
