[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some red flags for depression there. Doesn't care, wants to drop out of high school, laziness, avoidance. I would second having him talk to the counselor at school--they are good at screening for issues and can set him up with a schedule to stay after school and get work done. It's better if you don't have to do 100% of the nagging yourself![/quote] I posted above and agree with both posters. I have a son with ADHD and we have run into these road blocks for learning issues, anxiety and depression. Also, if a kid prone to serious depression, they can often have the first events in their teen years. When you talk to the counselor, see if he can get a temporary reduced homework load as you sort this out with the school, your kid and his doctor. It's going probably going to take a while to get him back to where he needs to be. [/quote]
