I've seen some Hikikomori people who once had lived alone to go to colleges but after that became Hikikomori in their parents' homes. I also read such stories in books, websites, etc.
What happened to them? Did something happen in colleges? I guess they may have suffered from school refusal when they went to colleges and then dropped out of colleges and finally returned to their parents's homes. Another possibility is that they graduated from colleges without landing a job and then became Hikikomori.[*] Another possibility is that they returned to work at their home ground (Japanese people say this as "U-turn employment") but finally became Hikikomori.
As far as I know, many cases suffered from school refusa, dropped out of colleges and finally became Hikikomori in their parents' homes.
That is thought-provoking. Some people think one way of overcoming Hikikmori is to live separately from their families. Some suggest to Hikimori people's families that they drive Hikikomori sons or daughters out of their homes.[**]
[*] Simultaneous Recruiting of New Graduates
In Japan, it is the custom for companies to employ new graduates all at once. People say this custom as "Shinsotsu-Ikkatsu-Saiyo." If seniors aren't employed by the time they graduate from college, it becomes quite difficult to get job. For more detail, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simultaneous_Recruiting_of_New_Graduates
[**] But some object the opinion. Some agree with the opinion with some reservations.
