[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have read this whole thread with interest. [b]What worries me is the lack of compassion from the other parents for the OP. [/b]
I wish the OP had been more transparent bc yes, there is a huge difference between rape/racist incident/assault and a drug infraction or rule breaking. We don't know how big or small the offense may have been.
   I think the real issue is if your child did something really bad- bullying, assault, racist act. I would not be worrying about college and instead be looking at psychological counseling and a gap year that helps build character.
   If the offense was truly small, then I am with the group that says find a college counselor to advise you on how to go. I do think the school is trying to help you by letting you withdraw so you could simply say he had to withdraw and go online and don't elaborate...but get professional advice. I do know a kid from our Big 3 who was forced to withdraw a a junior  for what I see a not huge drug offense (involving pot)  a few years ago.   He was suicidal and hospitalized- felt like his future was destroyed.  It took him a few years to recover and ended up in college but the punishment did not fit the crime. 
  Since we don't know the details of your case, I want to be kind. If your kid did indeed so something really bad that hurt someone else please get them the help they need.[/quote]

What worries me is that you automatically assume this warrants compassion.   OP hasn't said what her kid did.   Maybe there is a true victim of OP's kid's actions?    [/quote]
