My 13 year old has figured out how to circumvent the security settings on his iPad. It no longer requires him to get approval on websites or extended time and instead just allows him to “allow” a flagged website. I’ve tried rebooting, updating his iPad, taking him on and off the family plan but nothing seems to work. I need help!

I'd start by taking the iPad away from him for pre-determined time then explaining that will happen each and every time he breaks your rules regarding his use. Consistency of consequences is key.
Start by reviewing the instructions:
Use Screen Time on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Use parental controls on your child's iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Thank you! Yea that’s part of the consequences for sure, but I am also curious if there is a fix to this setting? I can’t even get it back to the original setting that requires approval. It’s too easy now for him to just push “allow” vs when I would have to enter a code for approval.
How do I prevent my 13-year-old from bypassing security settings on their iPad?
