I tried posting in another section but not many replies so trying here.
Until recently my 15 yr old daughter was helpful, polite, well-mannered and doing really well at school.
Couple months ago it all started going wrong.
Disobedient, confrontational, etc
Main thing I'm dealing with at the moment is struggling to get her to attend school, when she is there she's skipping classes, not doing homework, not making the effort in class.
I'm at my wits end and worried sick. School have tried to help but she's not engaging with them. At first she made out she was sorry, would try better etc now no such pretence. I try and talk to her about it she just loses her temper.
Dad not on the scene hasn't been for years.
I just don't know what to do.
No bullying going on, seems to mostly get on OK with friends, moans about teachers but no real issues as far as I can tell just the usual gripes but that hasn't stopped her before.
She just seems to have given up! Yet she claims to want to go to uni and have a career (in what changes periodically).
I'm stuck, I've tried tough love, listening and talking, school have talked to her...
