I would like to ask you to pray for our son who is a high school senior. He has been accepted to several universities, but he cannot decide what he wants to do after graduation. Housing applicatons are due by May 1st---and he's still undecided. He really wanted to go to the US Naval Academy and he hasn't heard from them, so I don't guess that is going to work out. He had his heart set on that, and now that it's not coming about, he's very down and not the least bit interested in going anywhere else.
I really am afraid he is clinically depressed. I've never seen him like this. When you ask him about school, he says, "I dunno." We've told him he could stay home next year and take some classes here, but he doesn't want to do that----but he can't make a decision about where to go.
I think he's paralyzed with the fear of making the wrong decision. We've told him if he goes somewhere and doesn't like it, that he can transfer somewhere else, but that just makes him mad. We've told him there is no wrong decision, that he will just have to try one and see how it goes.
He's no closer to making this decision than he was back in the fall when we started this process. My husband and I are about to pull our hair out!
We don't care where he decides to go. We just want him to be excited about going somewhere! I hate to see him so nervous about this. I know this is a very stressful time for him, but I never thought it would be this difficult for him.
I've offered to take him to a college/career counselor nd he balked at that. Now what? The deadlines are approaching fast! Please pray for him.
