[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 594764, member: 1550"] Do you think all this is worth the fighting? Because I know that if my child were that resistant to going to school, I'd want her to get a good education the best way she could and I'd try online school. To me that beats all D's and F's and high anxiety and mental health issues ratcheting up and the constant fighting you have to do, which affects YOUR mental health too. I know you're a teacher and probably very pro-public school, but the way school is run is not for all kids. Some can not function in the school environment yet may be just fine in the workplace later on. Right now her anxiety AND real physical problems are making school scary for her. You can try getting tough. I hope it works. My fear is, it won't change anything and will just make her and you more upset. Sounds like this is more than just normal teenage rebellion to me, from one who has always had severe anxiety problems (and learned to deal with them too!) I think Boyfriend should keep the hey out of your parenting. She's going to learn to dislike him quickly and he isn't related to her in any way. If he starts butting his nose into things, without loving her the way you do, it could make your home life even more chaotic. JMO. Good luck, whatever you decide to do!!! [/QUOTE]
