[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please have your DC live at home while they are working on their issues. It’s not fair to a college roommate to be a dumping ground for kids with depression. That happened to my daughter- and I will never forget that family :(.[/quote]

Living at home could contribute to depression, depending on the kid.  They are entitled to try the college dorm experience.  There is no telling when or if depression will surface.  But you might consider OP whether your DC might prefer a single dorm room so they can have down time or quiet when they need it.

Yeah there is a reason depression and anxiety has skyrocketed in the last 20 years and it isn’t electronics. It is the parenting. [/quote]

I heard someone who actually STUDIES this topic (not posts about it on DCUM) say that social media seemed to be contributing.

As am armchair observer, I have wondered if having no parent at home for so much of the day has an impact...but I don't know if that is true. I think we need to make kids believe nothing (no job or materials objects) matter to us more than them. [/quote]
