nobody could put a finger on what his problem was, but he thought differently. and then school taught him that he was always going to fail, but he was too bright to be learning disabled. now, at 22, he wont even try, because he is sure he is going to fail.
seems like so many kids these days come out of school beat up in this way, and need a couple years of doing nothing to find their way.
