My daughter is an only child, never enjoyed school from year 3-sat in class quietly sucking thumb and twirling her curls, this continued until she left in June 2011-every teacher said the same-she can do but it's just finding what makes her tick? Did scrape through with some GCSE results. Has never had any idea about what she might like to do with her life(apart from sleep)? managed to get her slightly interested in a college course-did attend for 3 weeks in September 2011, long story but didn't stay at college. Dad gave her a well paid job(against his better judgement) daughter left in February'12 as not what she wants to do! Now has NO interest in work what so ever! stays at boyfriends house, doss's about all day, comes home to eat and sleep a couple of times a week. Doesn't do anything of interest in life? How I see it, the longer you do nothing, the more difficult it is to do something? Extremely depressing watching a tall, beautiful young person let life go by - any suggestions?
