My son 22 years plays computer games day and night. He got 0 GPA in college for last 4 years. Please

My son goes to college for last four years but I don't know whether he attends the classes or not.He either misses the class or final exam. He scored Zero GPA. If I ask, he does not tell any thing and ends his answer "whatever" and " I don't care". Can some one tell me what kind of help he needs. Sometimes I feel he is too much worried about everything and blames everyone for his failure in life. He thinks he is failure in his life. He is intelligent and has a potential. He is keenly interestested in computer games and plays day and night non stop with his few friends. His youger brother 20 years old who is extrovert and goes to college, he feels inferiority complex when I talk about his brother. Please advise

It is time to tell your son that you will no longer support him. He had his opportunity to go to college and he wasted it. He will not become a responsible adult as long as you continue to provide for his needs. He has chosen to be a failure and you encourage it by allowing him to live with you, use your electricity to play computer games, eat your food, and disrespect you.



Since he has a zero GPA, there is no reason in the world to stop him from dropping out of school. Being enrolled in school is his excuse to continue to use you. My son thanked me several months after I told him to move out. He has a job, pays his own bills now and is thinking about what kind of schooling he really needs. He knows that he will have to go to school part-time and work to support himself, but he admits that telling him to move out was a good thing.



Hunger, homelessness, and uncertainty about your future are powerful wake-up calls.

your son needs to wake up to do that im very sorry to say you need to get him out of the house kick him out if you have show him that your not always going to be there for him and that if he doesn't wake up soon hes going to end up in the home.
Considering it is your money, take it away. Take away the computer and force him to get a job.
the two of you should sit down and have a proper conversation about how his living his life!!



if he doesn't get his act together right now its going to very difficult for him in the future!!
What do you mean, you don't know if he goes to class or not? And why do you allow " whatever" as an answer from your child? If he's not going to class, set him up in an apartment for one month. During that time he can find a job and learn to support himself. Unless you take control, he'll still be in your home when he's 30, still playing games like a little kid.
kick his *** out of your house, believe me, if you let him stay he is gonna be there for the rest of your life and his, it is time he stands on his own two feet, tell him either, go to school or get out.....simple as that
If he has had a "0" GPA for four years, I doubt he's in college at all! Do YOU pay the tuition bill or give him the money for it? If you are giving him the money, I doubt he's spending it there!



I can't think of any college that would have kept him enrolled for four years with "grades" like that!



I agree with other posters, you need to not worry so much about his self esteem and kick him out of the house -- otherwise in 25 years he'll still be in his room playing video games!



If you truly think he needs help, take him to a mental health center for an evaluation. However, it sounds to me like whatever "help" he needs is for you guys to quit enabling him. Tough love is called for!
