[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 626641, member: 3305"] Hi tina, Vent away. I too, feel your pain. My vote is for the GED. husband and I tried EVERYTHING to keep our son's in school...but they just didn't want to apply themselves. They just plain didn't care at the time. We tried and/or school tried...Alternative school, Jail school, church school, wilderness program school, homeschool, etc. Nothing motivated them to study and learn. Finally both of my sons got their GED's. I just don't see the point in wasting so much time, energy, money, sense of peace, etc on caring more about the grades than they do. It's so sad isn't it...but no, we can't do it for them. I think, as you said, getting the GED, a job, and experiencing the real world maybe what your son REALLY needs right now. When he realizes (later on) what he missed out on, THEN, he may want to pursue college and THEN really care! I'm so sorry you're going through this. Also hoping your son's depression will get managed soon. Hugs, LMS [/QUOTE]
