my bro's got some real issues at school that he doesn't tell people about. I don't know what it is. Maybe he has no friends, maybe he gets picked on... i don't know. But he sees his counselor and she says that he is depressed. Medical help is recommended.

We are gonna have him see a psychologist soon but in the meantime should we let him drop school? If we don't, he'll go on a hunger strike, and most likely refuse to do his work. He goes to a private school so that's money down the tubes for my family if he doesn't do jack in school.

He wants to go to internet high school. Yes, internet high school. High school over the internet. Let me repeat, he wants to go to school through the internet. I think he's very antisocial. If he goes to internet HS, it'll be even worst for him in the long run. But in the short term, he's throwing temper tantrams and refusing to go to school, do his work, and going on hunger strikes. School is very expensive for him (5G's a year), and if he doesn't do his work, I say fvck it; let his loser ***** drop school.

As of now, we've already dropped him from private school. He wasn't doing well anymore. He was a 3.4+ GPA student doing really well but he's slacking off a lot. I'm waiting to hear from the "internet high school" enrollment counselor now.

how much do psychologists cost? How often do you see them and all that jazz?

this is the highschool he wants to go to:

most people I've talked to says he just needs a good scolding. Take away his computer, and force him to go to school. I dont know, but I do think my parents give him too much freedom. He sleeps like 8AM to like 6PM. He stays away like 6PM till like 8 in the morning. His sleep cycle is real messed up.
