[quote=Anonymous]What an excellent post. One thing we've talked to our college kids about is learning how to distinguish between typical homesickness and other adjustment blues, from real depression and other more serious mental health issues that can emerge when kids are in their late teens and early 20s. Both my husband and I witnessed disastrous breakdowns of friends when we were in college, and you never forget it. College students really need to look out for each other because there are so few adults present in their day-to-day lives. And we as parents need to appreciate that as well prepared as our kids may be academically, they've got a lot to learn about real life. Nothing makes you grow up faster than watching a friend or a roommate self destruct. Just little things like knowing how to contact your roommate's parents can be important. [/quote]
