This isn’t your responsibility. The usual roommate behavior would be to ask if he is going to dinner, and go over with him. Otherwise live your life and he’ll live his. If he needs help, he’ll either get it or he won’t. He has parents. There is an RA. It’s not on your shoulders.

I was with you until you wrote “this also shows my dedication to helping people.” You totally lost me there and I agree with bodangles. I think this “help” is related to ego, or an effort to control someone else’s choice according to an agenda you live your life by. Sorry. You are also just a kid. But please examine your motives. Does this make you feel like a good person? Is that what this is really about?

Go to an al-anon meeting and learn about detachment, or get some counseling about how to approach this without making it into a mission that eats up your energy.
