I know this sounds shallow and it is and I've out grown it (I think) but could a young person's 'problem they have' be parental expectations?
It would be interesting to see if there is a correlation between this and a student's academic performance.
In my experience pushy parenting works. Kids tend to come out of it kinda awkward but broadly academically successful and morally upstanding. No way in hell I'd do that to my kid, but it's not a strategy doomed to failure.
