Hi
After doing less while than expected in 2016 with her GCSE's my dd did 2 BTecs at school this year. She has very bad anxiety (on meds) and hardly attended school. It was a miracle she got a distinction * and a merit as she basically self taught herself at home for the year.
I am a teacher and am starting in a new school next week. My dd showed interest in their 6th form and got a place to study A-levels there. She is now refusing point blank to go as she doesn't feel she'll be able to cope with the work. I am upset about this but can sympathise. I told her she needs to think about what she would do instead as she can't just do nothing.I have given her lots of info about apprentices etc but she is just not interested and refuses point blank to get out of bed. I asked what she wants to do and says nothing or shoot herself. She is very manipulative and has threatened us with killing herself on several occasions.
I am at the end of my tether with her, I just don't know what to do to help her but AIBU in thinking she can't just do nothing???? She is seeing her GP again on Thursday.
