[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 274908, member: 1436"] I see many high school seniors---I have been teaching at the high school level for 22 years--who get to that last stretch and just lose it. They have no idea what they will do next. They have had their days planned and scheduled for so long---by parents, the school, coaches----that the thought of it being over is terrifying and they self-sabotage subconsciously. As the mom of a pot-head, I can tell you that as long as he continues to partake in marijuana, his life will pretty much remain stagnant. Mine is 21 now, and still stuck in pretty much the same place he was at 15---except he has to work to support himself and his habit. If you can get him to agree to counseling--try that---but don't waste you money on an expensive program. If he is a long term user, as soon as he is back in his own environment, all the teaching will go out the window until he is sick and tired of his life going nowhere. [/QUOTE]
