As my world turns...DRAMA

[Nephythys]

Well, not my own drama. Davis drama.....

He wants to drop out. He wants to quit school, study and get his GED, work full time, get his car and start planning college.

I'm in a quandry.

He's not doing well- he is not dealing with pressure with any grace and he is miserable. His grades are good but he is so unhappy it almost seems to be making him sick. I can understand why he may want to drop this part of life and start getting on with things- he is not exactly a traditional kid.

Add to that the fact that I dropped out (ask me why- don't make any assumptions) and went to college for a while and I am doing ok- financially etc....and I have a hard time telling him that he can't do this. I can tell him I regret it, and that I missed doing things I wished I had done- but I doubt that will change his mind.

I have calls in to his counselor at school and his PO for advice and guidance. No decision has been made yet but it is what he wants to do. It's not like he is failing at school or socially- he is just really unhappy and eventually it will degrade his performance.

*sigh*
