Please let this young man be ok.

Really worried about this young man. Never having went to college I have no idea what goes on.

My sibling went to Penn and I KNOW the rest of us got a lecture at home. If his behavior changed IF he came home it's because he was now in the big league. High School he was the big league. Again small fish in a big sea.

He lived in the Quad and was Blessed a childhood friend was a dorm mate. Later he was in the most prestigious fraternity at Penn.


Long winded but I do remember a few times him coming home on the El moody. My dad explained he was the son of a cop around people from old money. Cut him a break. The curriculum was tough.

However he never split. Called home hardly ever. Would meet me in town and I believe be a tad embarrassed by my animal print body body suits and leather skirts.

Life. AT Matthew's age. It can go anywhere. Embarrassed. New people. Problems he had prior? Anything. A sassy embarrassing sibling? They don't get life goes on and it will get better.

If I could say to him "Yo, I went to shopping center college at 30" (CCP) and it gets better. I'd hope it helps. His mom was on my mind all night.

Rooting for him to reach out to his family soon. I think it's actually really common to struggle hard mentally in college. People feel alone or feel like they are failing, but they aren't the only ones going through it. Life can be extremely hard, but please talk to your parents and let them help you. When you're young, there are still many different paths you can go on to take. Let someone help you find the path for you.

Agree. And I'm wondering, since he started late at age 20, if he is just really unsure if college is even for him?

Yeah, the curriculum is brutally hard. They call it "Penn Face". A lot of struggling behind a calm facade. I think universities are trying to give student's outlets for mental health, but there's still shame involved and many don't reach out. <modsnip>

Matthew, praying for you to call home. Things do get better.

He’s 19, not 20.

Aweeee, nice post. Same here I’ve been checking constantly for updates. News this morning said the college is doing a search today. I’m really hoping since he took a back pack with him, he was planning on going somewhere.

I was thinking that he may be at a disadvantage starting college after many years of acting. How was he educated during his career? Probably a private tutor? He may not be at the same level academically as his peers and that would be quite frustrating. Just a thought. MOO

Millersville University Police report death of first-year student after he went missing (abc27.com)

Mother said he’s 19, not 20. I’m totally puzzled why he was wearing a hoodie. I was out walking at the time he went missing and it’s been super humid and hot. Leaving at 8:10 at night with a back pack makes me think he took off, hoping that’s the case.

Wearing hoodies year round is a thing with his age group. I have one a bit older and she drives me crazy with that. I just saw a fb meme about it yesterday and I thought, oh great, it's not just mine.

He was found deceased today in Manor Township near campus. No other information other than his body was taken to Lancaster County for further examination.

This is so tragic. Being an alum of MU, I know the Millersville community must be hurting.
