Anyone out there with a teen girl who does nothing to help herself and just has a slacker ,"The I don't care attitude about Everything."
We just moved from up North to down South,She's met friends here, not that that's what I would say they really are, she's been in school less then 4 months, failing all subjects, skipping classes, I had conferences with all her teachers (that was my request) and they say she's very capable but shows no effort, .................at home is no different.
I ask her to do things, then I tell her, then I take away what she loves, forbids her from doing the fun things, takes away comp and phones, I hide the phones, and she manages to find and hook all back up again.. Has no respect for any adult, anytime her friends call or we oick up the phone and the friends are talkin, they say the RUDEST things, and don't care who's listening. This is who she choooses to be friends with?heaven help me!
I pick my battles constantly, all she says over and over is that her friends mom's don't care, they don't even talk to there own moms, they hate them. No I don't believe it, but when I call other moms they really will say they had no idea about what these 2 were planning or scemeing. What else works , I'll take all idea's on thisAnd I do mean All. |

I don't have a girl that age - but something occurred to me as I was reading this: Did her behavior change rather abruptly before, during, or after the move?
If so, you might have her evaluated for depression. If she's depressed a little medication and a little therapy can go a long way. |

| My mom moved a lot when I was a kid and I always had an attitude about it (never that bad). It is hard for kids/teens since they have no control over the move. I also remember that it always seems to be the "bad" kids that would be the first ones to become friends. I would also suggest counseling and talking to her about these girls she is hanging out with. It is possible that she is acting out because she is not happy. |
