[quote=Anonymous]OP here.
It is unclear to us when she exactly stopped attending class (she went out of state about 3 hours a away) and when we visited her room was always tidy, she was clean and showered etc and nothing ever gave reason to give pause. She didn't like talking a lot about school when she visited but would say she isn't interested in it. Her parents felt she was just having trouble with the gen ed classes and would settle in more once she got into her major. 
From what I can tell she did start hanging around kids who were not the best influence, but it doesn't seem she met them until late Spring semester. 
Here at home she is not just hanging out with old friends (who have now gone back to school) but some kids who have been known to do drugs (nothing hardcore, but weed, drink). I don't know if she is or has done it.

Her parents differ on how to handle. One thinks she is being a lazy slob with zero empathy. The other is afraid that if they are too tough (get a job, help more) she will up and leave like she has threatened to do. At least here there is some stability with us and her siblings and if she up and moved the fear is we have no idea what she would be into and it may push her further down a spiral.

I have suggested talking to someone and she was not open to that. I have tried to get both her parents to understand that is truly what she needs but reality is they can't force her either. Just at a loss as to wth to even do to help. She says she just hates school and to leave her alone. [/quote]
