Unmotivated 16 Year Old

My 16 year old daughter is very smart, but is very unmotivated to complete her school work, therefor seems to be running a C average in almost everything. I speak to her teachers who say she 'drifts off' in class. She often gets zeros for homework she 'does not feel like doing'. I realize a C average is not the end of the world, but I know she is capable of more and would like her to be able to go to college. I have taken away privliges, offered incentives, etc, and she says she will do better, and may for a very short time, then its back...

My 16 Year Old

I have a 16 year old daughter who is very smart, but she doesn't do her work at school. She has always just gotten by. This bothers me, because I try to excel in whatever I do, but she just accepts mediocrity and I don't believe she tries hard. I just got her progress report and she is not passing any classes. I don't think she's into drugs. She could probably be having sex because I can't monitor her every move, but she does have to be in the house by 9 week day and week end. Her father and I just put her on punishment for the bad...

16 Year Old Daughter

My daughter has just turned 16 in September. She is for the most part a good kid. She has her head on straight (most of the time), but loves to give me a hard time. It feels like I have lost all controll of things when it comes to her. She no longer has the respect for me she once did, and can be very disrespectful, and quite mean and hurtful. She is a sophmore in college prep highschool wich is 2 hours away from home. Last year she could not wait to go, Her brother is a senior at another high school prep school, Now this year she...

How to Boost Teenager Daughter's Self-esteem

Hello mamas, My daughter just turned 14. She has all the qualities that a young lady could dream of: kind, smart, funny, sportive, gifted and physically beautiful. You would say that I am biased, but all our friends, PTA parents, neighbors, whoever knows her would say the same thing :) She is however painfully shy and has low self-esteem. She always thinks she does not do things well enough. I guess part of it because she is a perfectionist. We are not pushy parents. We provide her opportunities for learning and activities but we never...

Drawings of Violent Pictures by a Child.

My boyfriend's 7 year old draws violent pictures at school all the time. If there is an animal on his work it is gutted and blood is all around it. There has been times that he's talked about killing himself due to his stuttering and not feeling accepted at school. He is fascinated with violent games on you tube. We have put a stop to him watching this and have been monitoring his internet time. He is always pretending to shoot at kids at school, has a hard time listening and doing class work. The teachers say he's very smart, loves to read...
