What do you do with a 16 year old child who is a good kid but is lazy as you know what? Her only issues are not picking up after herself and lousy school effort in math in particular. She fluctuates between a C and an F and in general she is completely lost. The doctor put her on Zoloft and BC pills but no real changes are being seen. She has a math teacher who is willing to assist her more than I ever would. On the other hand they have had a intern teacher for this last few weeks and everyone (according to Bug) has been having a really rough time. The regular teacher even told us at the last parent teacher conference that this was the hardest term.
Right now I have told her that if the math grade for this term is not a C or above she will only be able to drive for her job. She will have to share a car and no out driving around for fun. Her current grade is an F but her teacher lets them re-take, re-do, and basically fix a grade as long as they do the work.
Oh yeah and as usual she is still finding friends with more issues than I can count. If another one of them runs away I may just lose my mind! Every single one has issues she feels the need to fuss and crab and cry over1
So the question is what do I do? Is this just normal teenage crap?
