[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 160021"] The not planning ahead thing is sooooo typical teen. It's like that part of their brain shuts down from about 13 to about 15. Or so. What caught my attention is her missing assignments and her not having the phone for a week. Most teenagers would curl up and die if they couldn't talk on the phone with their friends. That alone would often be enough to get them to do their chores, homework, whatever. Depression in teenagers often looks like hostility. If she's withdrawing from friends and activities that she normally enjoys and is doing a lot of things that are really out of character for her (like the school work), I would probably take her to see someone just to make sure everything is ok.
