What I think
Quote From: carolynbacI have a 15 year old very bright, beautiful, and talented daughter. The problem is when she first starts school, she is very motivated and works very hard and gets straight A's, then it seems that she gets worn out and just quits and starts to get straight F's. When I find out and remove her privaleges she gets remotivated and back to A's. There is no in between it's either F's or A's. I just would be happy with B's and C's at this point. I get so tired of having to follow her every assignment, but when I don't she slips back to f's. What am I to do? I just want to have a rewarding relationship with her without having to be the big heavy all the time. I am only 15 but I would say that you should talk to her. I didn't have a good relationship with my mom before but now that I get older i see why my mom does the things she does. I just always wanted my mom to talk to me and give me advice. I never had a real relationship with my mom and now I have a better one and it just keeps on improving. I think you need to let her how you feel and why she needs to try in school. I am not saying that just needs to do this because I am not DrPhil but I think this would help. You also have to make sure she has the right kind of friends. You shouldn't have to take everything form her after you have a better relationship with her. I am so glad my mom and I have a better relationship. I could not ask for a better relationship. Just try this and see what happens other wise I don't know what else to do for now.
