[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 550798"] There is such a huge difference in the level and amount of work from 8th grade to high school. My kids are finding this out. My difficult child 2, who has always found school EASY is struggling this year and we've only had a week of it. Because he's actually found it easy, he's not used to having to work at it. This year, he has to WORK. Because the whole school environment is different and routines are different in high school, I can see where she might find it VERY overwhelming. It sounds like her anxiety is through the roof and might need some accommodations or maybe even a prn medication? Does she have an IEP or 504? If not, I would request one asap. Puberty did a real number on both my kids and kicked their symptoms into high gear. In order to not have her slip into a very deep depression like my difficult child 1 did because of school pressure, you need to get something going for her until she's over the hump at least. I don't think she's exaggerating when she says the work is too hard. She's telling you the why, now you have to come up with a Plan B or alternative to HELP her over it. Personally, I would ask for a prn from her psychiatrist for the anxiety. I suffer from it too and it can be crippling. [/QUOTE]
