I knew a few folks who were on the depressed side and I didn’t mean to lump them in. I saw a lot of it first hand and the behavior was different ime. Like the lazy kids were very “give me the answer” while the people having a seriously hard time were not pushy and sorta silently fell behind.

A lot of my friends didn’t make it to graduation. It was really hard seeing it happen but they weren’t in a headspace to accept help. A couple times a month there’d be a classmate who would just stop showing up.
