I did this. Massive depression hit, had virtually no one in my life I could turn to and just kind of retreated into myself.

My parents later said they didn’t know what to do, so just left me alone and let me do whatever I wanted - which unfortunately involved stopping school.

*Bit of story coming - long story short, I’m fine and doing very well now. *

To their credit, as I figured out how to build myself backup(massive thanks to my grandma realizing what was up and never giving up helping me) my parents supported every positive thing I did. Bankrolled me getting into powerlifting, helped me get into coommunity college to finish my diploma+get a 2 year and tutored me on leadership, organizational skills and general ethics towards jobs.

By the time we could all sit down and talk about my teen years, I was quite happy with how everything had gone. Sometimes you need to fail at everything, before you learn the value of doing anything.
