[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am a man, and when I was 17, I had some of your son’s issues. No ADHD, pot or smoking but yes to: Does bare minimum at school Has a crappy attitude Quit all his sports Has a terrible temper (think holes in walls) Doesn’t exercise Eats horribly Isn’t very motivated Is immature Risk taker In retrospect, I think I had depression and anxiety. I got into college and then flunked out. Lived at home for a while... [i]and then[/i] around age 22, pulled myself together, finished college, went to grad school, and now have a great job. My mom was surprisingly patient. She didn’t give up on me. Age 18-25 is a tough period, but stay strong and keep your hopes up![/quote] Different poster, but this is pretty common. I'm glad you had support from your parents. Men in particular seem to need a little more time to mature in order to fit into these stringent types of societal expectations. [/quote]
