My ds is 17. He was doing an apprenticeship, but he was 'let go' due to lack of enthusiasm. He went to college for a bit, but hated the courses.
He applied to join the army. They don't want him due to a history of asthma.
He has no idea what to do with himself. I don't know what to do with him.
He's miserable. He feels like a failure. He's a clever lad, got reasonable GCSEs. Kind, considerate, hard working.
What on earth can he do? While he's a NEET I'm not getting any child benefit for him, or any part of UC. I work full time, single parent with another teen at home. I need him to be bringing something in, but there's no work for him around here.
I'm scared he's becoming depressed.
