[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP unfortunately you are right your child is an adult and there is nothing you can do.

Saying something will just push them together more and hurt your relationship.

And yes dating in HS is a preparation. But not everyone dates in HS for many reasons. I doubt that is the main issue here.

Where did they meet? This age gap seems odd for a college freshman.

And is your child still doing well? In other words grades are good? Any other concerns?

Do you know anything about who they are dating? Ie does that person have a job, grad student something to be productive daily?

Most likely you will have to watch how this plays out and hopefully your child picked a good egg.

Op here

They met outside of school my child has varied interests and met through one of these activities.
My child is doing well in school , but has of late been talking about dropping out to pursue one of these activities full time. This has been discussed in the past and I thought we'd come to a compromise of going to school getting solid training in something and doing the hobby on the side . It seems to me under the influence of this person they are thinking more seriously about dropping out.

I'm also not clear what their relationship is at times it seems my child has a crush and is friendly with the other person. At times it seems that there's more. It also seems like this person is dating someone else. My child has been pretty vague with this.

I don't think they have a steady reliable/ traditional job. Seems like a lot of partying to me 
I'm not naive I know that my kid will drink and party but seems like a lot to me.
