Woah…that’s a lot of responsibility…
For one young man, college was proving to be a lot more difficult
than he initially anticipated. At first it was just full of letting loose and having fun, but as the fun died down and the responsibilities began to catch up, he realized he wasn’t prepared.
The young man couldn’t organize his schedule, keep his room cleaned, navigate his classes, do laundry, keep up with eating good food, showering, brushing his teeth and so much more. This then caused college to become extremely stressful for the young man. He started not going to classes because he was too behind on all of his schoolwork and his friends began not coming over and hanging out due to his poor hygiene, causing the young man to begin resenting college.
After deciding to drop out, the young man struggled with his confidence, leading him to not want to get a job, or move out and become independent. This then worried his parents, and as time went on, they realized their son needed help.
