Kinda Lost About College

Having a child with anxiety, I know that anxiety stops you from calling the doctor to get help for your anxiety.

Some suggestions:

1. Ask your parents to make the appointment. Say that you think you have anxiety and it is stopping you from doing what you want to do (e.g., drama, etc)

2. If they won’t do it, contact your pediatrician and ask for help. Or ask another trusted adult to help out.

Re: Major

Your Dad is giving you “advice”. Yes, some careers are harder than others. But don’t take that as you can’t do it…but that if you can think of something else to do then consider that. They are just trying (like all parents) to have you be able to get a job.

Major in what you want to major in! They may push back but it is rare for a parent to say “I won’t pay for college unless you major in X”. Also you start college with no major anyway…but if you wanted to be a pre-med then you should take sciences or if you want to be an engineer you take calculus etc.

I would suggest getting a job…(after the anxiety is addressed which you should do ASAP)…this is a low risk entry in to the work force…it is good to understand how businesses work and how to be an employee.
