[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our 2021 grad wasn’t able to complete a nursing certification she was on track for her senior year and basically gave up. Took a “gap” year that has turned into no plans to enroll in college. [/quote]

PP, I posted earlier about my 2021 son, who dropped out of college after not really making any friends and doing poorly academically, although he is now back taking courses. I think there are quite a few kids like ours who are falling through the cracks, not being discussed, and not exactly knowing where to turn. One difficulty for kids on this path is that there aren't that many social opportunities for 19/20-year-olds who aren't in college, which further exacerbates isolation. My son's general well-being has improved greatly since he started working at a low pay job in a small department with incredibly nice co-workers. Even though he doesn't socialize that much, these workplace connections have increased his optimism and hope while he works with his therapist on other issues.

What is your DD doing now?[/quote]
