Jumpy Josh is flunking out of high school, how can this happen you may ask. Haven't I always talked about how smart he is? And he is smart, but he can't seem to find a way to turn his homework in .
He has a girlfriend, who is beautiful, but needy and demanding. It scares me to see how little self confidence, he has. He should be brimming, and yet, here he is in his 5th year of high school with no gumption to go do anything except what she tells him to do.
How can you build a life on the insanity of a failure? I encourage him to move forward, to help himself, to get a job, do something with himself, and he does nothing. I am afraid this is going to be a long long 3 weeks, which is all he has left to graduate.
How do you flunk out of school with a Mensa IQ? You fail to have standards for yourself.

LIttle Boy all growed up
We went to see Dr Dan today. Alex, after an hour, came to the conclusion, that maybe, he would be willing to work with me.
Of course we had to find a deal where, he could still be all grown up, in 3 days he is old enough to buy grown up games, and go to grown up movies, but how do I stop him from making the big mistakes.
I worry about how he will handle the change of being an adult, when inside him there is a little boy who still throws things and he doesn't like it when changes happen.
It is hard to let him grow, when the behaviors are still the same, but they are changing as he gets older, and he wants to make the grownup decisions. He works at the decisions, and he thinks of the things he can do when noone can tell him what to do.
Who can give me an idea, and how can I findthe answers needed, so I can let my son grow, and yet not let him fall apart.

Jumping Josh is out of Jail
He's 19, he makes bad choices, hes still in high schoool, and if you listen deep in the mess you can almost hear him blame me.
He hoards things, he needs help, but most help won't get it cause he thinks he is fine. Its everyone around him who are unfair.
He lives like a slob in a clean house, and can't understand why everyone is angry with him.
He blames everyone else for sending him to jail, he expects everyone to feel bad for him, but doesn't know how to say I am sorry. He says he is, when you can watch him do nothing. How do you live with the lies?
I am afraid he will have to go somewhere else....He can't stay here... He needs more than we can give...
