Set up your computer in such a way that it asks for a password after booting. That way, you can prevent your son from using the computer for browsing the internet or playing any games !! That is what I do to prevent my niece from accessing my computer without my knowledge!!

Just take the computer away. You can still do your homework and study perfectly fine without the internet. He can do his work the old way. Then he can earn his computer privilages back if he's good.

It's going to be tough, but you need to show him who's boss again. Kids will push their limits if you let them and I'm sure this has happened over time. You're going to have to take the computer away, or lock it like the previous posters have said. He needs to see that the computer is a reward and not a guarantee and he'll learn to appreciate it and then the two of you will get along much better. Maybe he's craving attention. Set aside a certain day of the week or time during the day where you and him can interact and do whatever you think he would enjoy. Maybe the two of you could play on the computer together
