[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He sounds very sweet, OP, and he will come into his own and shine.

If his GPA is low, and he's "shy" and not focused, have you thought that he may have [b]inattentive ADHD[/b]? My son has that (along with other issues) and ADHD meds were a lifesaver in middle and high school while he caught up. Graduated high school with a 4.67 GPA. Now he's in college and doesn't use his meds except for exam days.

Just making a suggestion.[/quote]

Not everything is a diagnosis or requires medication.

It's possible the kid is just average.

And after all:

Ewe. I HATE that reference sooo much. It’s so gross! OP: your son is in MS. Hardly formed yet in any way. It’s like taking 2 tomato plants and comparing them. Yours has leaves and is green and is growing. You are too obsessed with what your neighbor’s tomato plant is doing. Of course you are -it’s producing large, red, juicy award winning tomatoes. But the thing you are missing is that yours is still growing! It might not have bared fruit yet, but everyone develops at different speeds and everyone has different gifts and talents. He’ll have his day in the sun! And one last thing…I know a TON of ‘average” ppl who are wildly WILDLY successful. So buck up and keep on tending that garden! [/quote]
