[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 574991, member: 1550"] On a different note, have you ever studied up on hypochondria? If she has this mental health disorder, she is NOT being defiant. She is probably really terrified. I had it when I was young, and, trust me, you really think you are sick! You need to treat it as a serious phobia. The right medications and therapy wiped mine out, but, while I never refused to go to school, I came home a lot and I was so nervous the entire day at school that I couldn't concentrate on anything other than being afraid I was going to throw up in front of everybody, so I didn't learn very much. My GPA was under a C, and I was capable of more. Even as a kid I had a long list of diseases I was sure I had from brain tumors to MS to all kinds of cancer and doctors couldn't 100% talk me out of it. It manifested with me as dizziness, stomach problems, shaking, and lots and lots of fear that I'd embarass myself in front of my peers. I didn't care about my grades; I was too scared. I just wanted the end of the day to happen. I cut a lot of classes. in my opinion Juvie will only make her worse because it sounds like it's a mental problem and they are treating her as if she is "bad."
