[QUOTE="ThreeShadows, post: 334976, member: 6370"] I know this is completely off topic, but if her project really is about porphyria, I myself would have a ball with it. There are plenty of hypotheses about various members of royal European families having suffered from this affliction. She might be able to contact the American Porphyria Foundation to see if she could do a telephone interview of someone with this disease. She might ask them how they feel about the current craze for vampirism and how very real their suffering is, compared to the romantic notion depicted in fiction. This is a very sophisticated subject for her age and she must have felt passionate about her choice to stick to her guns like this. I don't see anything wrong in trying to guide a 14 y.o.; that is still young. I also resent that so much of her grade depends on this project. You don't have to be a difficult child to make dumb, esoteric choices. I once chose to do a presentation to my classmates on Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra. Boy, did I regret that! [/QUOTE]
