If you're kids are at risk then perhaps college should be postponed..you're kinda out of luck because at some point they will have to make their own choices.
The word "university" has in it a form of "whole". As such, IMHO, this "place for learning" should strive toward teaching AND fostering coping mechanisms. Coping is, after all, and again IMHO, a key component to success. Tell us, without the basic will to live, what is success or "higher education"?
The point of the post is to help other people dealing with the same thing. Colleges have populations of young people on their own for the first time dealing with new and extremely taxing issues. They have a responsibility to take mental health seriously and offer support. The same way a disabled student would be supported.
Well, this is how folks get rich in the smartist era, by creating schemes like this. Or buying facebook & google stock. Or creating/investing in the next web 2.0 billion dollar company. A 9-5 chump would have to work for years to make this kind of money, assuming he paid off all his college loans.
