[quote=Anonymous]I totally sympathize OP. It's hard at this age. We're dealing with drama around our sophomore's academics. He struggles in school and we unfortunately have to oversee his homework etc like army generals. We also supplement with tutors in subjects where we can't provide useful assistance. We just took away his phone (when he's home) after a string of bad grades. He can read or draw when he's done with his homework, but no more endless screen/texting time. It's been a good thing so far.

More importantly he started talking to us about school angst. He feels stupid, he's worried & embarrassed, and he is suddenly a little more tuned into the fact that college isn't all that far off and he thinks he's doomed. And this is a kid who is literally impervious to peer pressure and who is generally happier in his own skin than any human being I've ever met. Everyone told me that freshman year would be a shock to the system, but at least for us it's sophomore year when everything has started to get real. Passing this along just in case it factors into your own kid's recent drama.[/quote]
