College Isn’t for Kids: What Every Parent Needs to Hear Before Drop-Off

Getting into college is one thing. Being ready for it—emotionally, mentally, and socially—is something else entirely. Dr. Lou Profeta, an ER physician and college-circuit speaker, joins us to talk about the gap between academic success and real-world readiness. From social media pressure and cannabis use to emotional breakdowns and college dropouts, Dr. Profeta shares powerful, unfiltered stories from his work in emergency rooms and campuses across the country. He challenges the idea that GPA equals maturity and offers honest, actionable advice for parents trying to prepare their teens for life on their own. Whether your teen is heading to college this fall or taking a year to figure things out, this episode is essential listening for parents who want to raise independent, resilient young adults.
