but I am beginning to panic about this. We've toured the schools back in the fall and he was excited about them at the time. But lately, he has no zest for living. He doesn't care about anything.
He was even accepted into this very elite program (they only take 20 students a year!) and he was so elated to be in it. We took him over to talk to the director over spring break and he acted like he could care less. He now says he doesn't want to be in this program. We told him fine, that he could just go to this university and major in something else---and he says he doesn't even want to go to this school!
Last week, it was the same thing. He said he wanted to go to another university. Now he says he doesn't.
If he eliminates all of these, he doesn't have any more choices---except to stay home and go to the community college. When we suggest that, he says he doesn't want to do that either!
We are going in circles! And he won't talk to us much. We are having to drag this little bit out of him. The deadlines for housing are May 1st---and he's not interested in submitting any of them.
This is just not like him. He's our fun-loving, sociable, well-liked kid. What is wrong with him?
I'm really concerned that he is depressed since I have bipolar disorder and depression runs in my family. What happens if he is and he doesn't get any better in the next several months? It would be terrible if he lets his grades drop so much that these university offers are rescinded. (It happened to a kid in our neighborhood last year. The schools do ask for the final grades and if they're not good, they rescind their acceptance!)
I never ever thought we'd be going through this with him.
All of the other high school seniors in our neighborhood are so excited about going off to college---and he's upset, nervous and down about it.
Please pray for him---and me!
