[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 337271, member: 84"] Sounds as if she got a case of senioritis a year early. I've seen alot of teens go thru this.....and manage to pull out of it just in the nick of time. Unfortunately they all regretted it later of course. My easy child didn't let it go quite as far as yours, but even she came down with the condition. I threatened to force her to quit her job and that was enough to snap her out of it. She loved working and she loved the spending money. lol Could there be anything going on at school, maybe with other students or a teacher? Would easy child tell you if there was? My easy child was just sick and tired of the daily grind of it all. Then what does she do after graduation?? Well, she's 25 and still a full time student. lol Of course college is nothing like hs anyway. I'd let natural consequences do their thing. You guys have talked to her. She knows, even if she's choosing not to believe it right now, what will happen if she doesn't pull it together soon. I know it's hard to watch her shoot herself in the foot.....but there isn't alot you can do to stop her at this point. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
