Thank you! It's tough, because I do think self-centeredness/self-interest is a part of it, but he's also just a kid, who hasn't had a lot of adults he can rely on in his life, in a situation where it can be really hard to know what to do.
I was in a similar situation with a friend who was having a mental breakdown when I was 19, and the temptation to just "power through" and make everything as normal as possible is really strong. It takes some self-awareness to be like "I can't handle this myself, I need help," and I don't think 17-year-old Kent is there yet.
