[QUOTE="SRL, post: 285022, member: 701"] This was me at age 16. I was and am a easy child type but I went through a period where I really rebelled against my mother because I didn't respect her or her life. All teens go through that to some degree, but my mom's life was a shambles at that time--after a painful divorce and all it's aftermath I also had to deal with my parents mental health issues, difficult child brother who was giving the family a lot of problems, live-in boyfriend we kids all hated, serious money problems, etc. I think back on it now as situational difficult child-ness but really the rebellion is what enabled me to survive in an otherwise unhealthy and dysfunctional family environment. I'm NOT saying my/my mother's situation is you/your daughter's but I can understand why a easy child daughter would suddenly change because it happened to me. When I got old enough to understand (or at least think I did), I started to fight back because I'd had enough of the mess and I wanted a different life. It was like thrashing around in the water trying to save myself from drowning in it. I can't tell you what to do but I would let the school take care of the testing. Honestly I don't think therapy would have helped me at that point. I just needed to get out of there and get on with my life. [/QUOTE]
