[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reading this at first I thought, oh goodness it's just two weeks.

But then I thought about how after my freshman year -- and I had a bunch of friends and a boyfriend -- I wanted to take a year off. I felt overwhelmed and just tired (I know now I was depressed, I medicate for this now) but I couldn't give better more concrete reasons than that so my parents brushed it off and wouldn't agree to it. [b]I went back sophomore year and bombed out. I eventually went back to college and finished but who knows how things might have been different if they had really heard me and stepped in.[/b]

This is a long way of saying, you know your child, we don't. If you think he needs help, help him. [/quote]

Man here who had same situation.  Parents had no idea how to help.  Although I have done well for myself, there is a part of me that wonders what might have been.....  Personally, you have to get those thoughts out of your mind or they will destroy the good things about your life.

OP, I wish you and your son the very best![/quote]
