WoW!
my friend doesn't even know where he wants to go to college. he's a junior in high school and let's just say he's not doing all that well and his GPA is the proof of that. he doesn't seem to care about this school stuff but he's constantly getting stressed out. what should i do to help him in this situation?! or what should happen?!

he might be dealing with some distractions that probably seem more important than school to him. you could try talking to him about whats going on in his life and see if you can help with anything thats going on. if thats not the case and hes just getting lazy.. then you can try to tell him the importance of school and how it will effect his future, but there is always an option if this doesnt work out.. community colleges are still a good way to get a good education if you screw up in high school.

well lets see your friend doesnt seem to have a good gpa but there is college out there for everybody. and just tell him that he can still go to college. and if he doesnt want to then everybody isnt made for college. tell hiim to take it easy and hold back some of the things that are going on at the moment because its not good to be stressed out espically trying to worry about school and what to do after high school. beleive me im going through it right now and im only in the 10th grade. just help him to take some extra courses or help him to find some colleges that might accept him because thers a college for everybody.......

Only your friend can help himself. All you can do is be supportive of his decisions and be there when he needs to talk about it. It's perfectly normal for a junior in high school to not know what they want to be when they grow up. And if he cared enough to keep his grade point average up, he'd keep it up.
And who says he has to go to college immediately after high school? He might decide to work for awhile until he decides what he wants to do with his life. Until then, going to college is a pointless endevor that would lead to his eventual downfall.
From personal experience, waiting until you are ready to handle the responsibilities of a college career helps in the long run. It makes you better prepared to go after what you want and make it happen.
And even if his GPA isn't the best, there are such things as community colleges that let almost anyone in as long as they make a good GPA while there.

ok well first off... it doesnt matter if he doesnt know what he wants to do yet. alot of students dont know what they want to do at that point in their life. take me for example... i'm a senior and i graduate in the first week of june, and i still am undecided on what i want to do with my life and career. thats not uncommon in high school students. he is a junior, he has the rest of this year and even next year to decide. if he is undecided then he can take a semester to think about it or even take the year off to figure out what he wants to persue his career in. i wouldnt really be concerned that much about it. he will figure it out. there is nothing you can do that can choose what he wants to do. that is all on him and only him. just give him time to figure out what that is that he will want to do for the rest of his life. going to college and trying to find a job to have for the rest of your life is a major life changing thing. he will figure it out in time. just give him that time.

Does he want to go to college? If not, then I'm afraid there is nothing you can do. You can't force someone to care about something, but I would bring it to his attention. Tell him you are worried about him. And offer him your help. Say you'll do what you can. That is all you can do.

you should seriosly talk to him...tell him to take this stuff seriously ...cause he has a whole future ahead of him but if he does this he will just spoil it.....and help him in his studies encourage him help him find a good college....
if u really are his friend then you shoulld do everything you can to make him be good in studies(not super good) and think about his future...
but all the same have fun..hope i could help
