<p>Patient, I don’t believe I told my parents my grades either, and they did not ask,as I was always an excellent student in highschool. I did not come home much after I went away to school and the topic did not come up. But I did have a few rough terms where , in retrospect, they probably should have known I was having some problems. Though, I doubt they could have helped and there would not have been anyone that could have convinced me to tell them about my problems. But had they been different people, they may well could have made things a little bit better, had they known I was struggling. The grades were an indicator that all was not well despite the cheery letters home.</p>
