[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 724440, member: 1550"] Well.....obviously perhaps partying was on his mind more than studying. College is hard and I less you are either totally academically brilliant or love to work hard for a good cause...kids quit. The freshman drop out rate is high. Now it is up to him to get a job and sustain himself. He can still do that. I hope he realizes he will be homeless and hates the idea enough to work. We do give them the best opportunities, yet they are not hard workers so often would rather throw opportunities that require hard work away. Pot. Partying. Gaming. Gambling. Sex. To them, some of these things are what college means. It is sad. Had I wanted to go to college, it would have been on my dime. Ferb received a precious loving gift from you. Is he one of those "pot does no harm" people? I am sorry your dreams for him have been further eroded. It bothers us far more than them, but it is a legitimate hurt and you deserve compassion and love from our hearts. I am so sorry. It is so maddening. It does seem as if they don't WANT to achieve anything. Baffling. [/QUOTE]
