He should graduate first, go to college, graduate again, get a job, then a car, and then an apartment. His chances will be much better once he has demonstrated that he can be a responsible adult in a competitive social environment.
Right now, he's just a 17-year old in an alternative school, with no degree, no job, no car (?), and no home of his own, trying to establish a relationship with a woman in a social environment where he must compete with men his age and older who go to regular schools, have their own money, their own transportation, and possibly their own places to live - thus having already demonstrated that they are responsible adults.
I'm not saying that it's purely a matter of economics, but that having the accoutrements of a responsible lifestyle are more attractive to others than having no such accoutrements at all.
