He's scared?
I think this because usually when I refuse to tell someone somthing I am scared.
You need to get on top of your stuff.
you need to stay in school and get good grades and if you have a hard time with that then you need to take notes and study. a lot.
you need to focus on your career after college and don't let anyone get in your way or you won't get where you deserve to be.
The answer is "re-evaluate the situation and refocus on how he can meet his goal"
