My son the consistent underachiever, how can I explain how he is ruining his life?

<p>

</p>

<p>He is not limiting his earning potential. YOU just think he is. He will be a grown up and will need to make his own decisions about jobs/salaries, etc. There are MANY unemployed lawyers these days…talk about “limited earning potential”. </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Right and he gets a B+ instead of an A? That is still a terrific grade. He does NOT need to get all As in college. MOST people put in more effort in things they are interested in.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Agree with above poster. This comment leaves me speechless.</p>

<p>This kid is NOT a failure, and doesn’t look headed that way. Re: the need for a therapist…I know who <em>I</em> would recommend see a therapist. Also…school guidance counselor…where would THAT be? This is a college student.</p>
