[quote=Anonymous]It's not a crazy thing to do. She likely won't get admitted to the colleges she would have been otherwise and may lose out on scholarships. But she might be fine with that. However, it would be a shame if she missed out on the college she actually wants just because she's burned out by TJ as a sophomore. I would try to reach a compromise and transfer now to a lower-stress setting, and agree to consider it with the help of a family therapist. It's a big decision she would be making about her future. I think I'd be less concerned if she was just skipping her senior year of HS. But quitting in her sophomore year seems different. End of the day, what your daughter is indicating is that TJ is really stressing her out. I think you should encourage her to address that, rather than just throwing away all of highschool. That's a good life lesson, too. [/quote]
