Trying to work out if I need to do anything or just leave her be.

She's knee-deep in GCSE revision - which she's doing plenty of, but not too much. My concern is she barely leaves the house aside from school. She seems happy, and obviously I don't want her out clubbing till all hours or anything. But I don't know if it's healthy for her to go out so little.

She has a few close friends but isn't so keen on some of the wider group apparently. So she rarely sees them outside of school and doesn't want to go out with me and DP (understandably at 16) or on her own.

She shuts me down if I say anything. I'm more worried about the summer and carrying on like this after exams.

Do I just leave her be? Don't want to push her, especially at the moment, but don't want it to be hard for it to become a problem.

Exams are important. I'd wait until the summer and take it from there.

Does she fancy getting a job in the summer? That provides a bit of variety and structure.
