[quote=Anonymous]I dated a guy like this in college. He was fine when we met but slipped more and more into depression, not going to class, not doing any course work, staying up all night and sleeping all day. He failed out freshman year, his parents got involved and got him diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and something else medical but I can’t remember what, which gave him a second chance at college his sophomore year - although he was still a freshman in terms of earned credit hours. He failed out of that too. Ended up dropping out of college and getting a job doing property management for a large apartment complex. His parents are well-off and well-connected. But unfortunately, sometimes there’s nothing you can do if the kid won’t help themself.

And some kids need a few years to mature and can graduate from college in their mid or late 20s if they take time off school as a late teen/early 20s. It’s risky because a lot of kids never make it back to school and just slip more into depression and bad habits. So you have to stay on top of them. But that can also be an option. [/quote]
