My brother pulled the same thing his senior year. ...went from straight A's to F's and quit going to school (he drove himself) My parents got the call, just like you did. And pushed super hard to find the route of the problem. It got to the point where they couldn't get him out of bed and depression kicked in. He never graduated but did get his GED. He's now 29 years old and still a waiter at Outback Steakhouse.
He was a genius. He memorized every statistic of every decent baseball player and foot ball player. He was a math wiz and scored the highest on his ASVAB test?? the one for the Navy that the recruiter had seen. He wound up not being able to go into the Navy because he didn't graduate and I think this was the master plan
You NEED to talk with his friends. There is a deeper issue going on here. I didn't read the other responses and Im hoping someone has already mentioned it. He may be getting picked on in school or have a fear of graduation and "real life" He needs to see a counselor... I would find a young man who is easy to talk with whom your son may find it easy to open up to. Good luck and it's wonderful you are so involved. Keep it up!
