[quote=Anonymous]OP I would talk to her about the other aspects of her life - let her know you're there if she wants to talk, that you respect her decisions and are happy to be there to advise if she wants you. And let her drop all the classes if she wants to. She's an adult now and needs to rebel and figure out exactly what she wants out of life. I can understand how that is painful for a parent to watch but your efforts will likely be in vain. I wouldn't do counseling, would just push her away more. My sister was the same way. Was doing well until about 8th/9th grade, then completely started to slack off, almost failed out of HS, never went to class and barely graduated. She announced she didn't want to go to college after all and ran away to travel Europe. Well, lo and behold, a year later she came back, enrolled herself at the state university, and graduated with honors. The values you have taught your daughter throughout her life will kick in, but she needs to test the boundaries first. Let her fly. [/quote]
