I'm beginning to have a rough time with my kid. (aka my boyfriends little brother) He moved down here from Mass and has been going to school here and living with me. But he feels as if he has to live up to his brother and his father and it's putting to much pressure on him mentaly. He says he doesn't want to be like his brother, turn down a free ride to the best college in Mass and join the military. He has goals but I think he lets all the emotional bullshit get in the way. He is worried about his brother in Iraq, he's worried his brother and I will break up. He's worried his girlfriend will break up with him and he's worried about his father's drinking problem. He dropped out when he was a freshman, got a job and realized he made a mistake. The beginning of this school year he wanted to go back and he came here, he's an honor roll sudent for cryin' out loud! I wish he's take into consideration he's almost 18, he's a freshman in highschool... he only has this chance now, there won't be a 3rd try. Any modivational advice?
