[quote=Anonymous]Lots of folks here are prepared to judge, including OP, but it won't help the situation. OP, this is a confrontation you cannot win. if you make it a battle of wills, your DD holds all the power. You cannot make her study. You can only push her away. So you need to put down the weapons and try to figure out what is going on here. You say no LDs -- have you ever had her evaluated? This is not something a lay person can judge. Ditto depression -- teens, especially, can hide it well and you need a professional to make those calls. If you rule all these things out, try having a honest conversation in which you don;t judge, you just listen. You may have to hold that conversation several times. She'll be on guard because she knows you want something from her that she doesn't want to give. You'll only get true information if you give her the sense you are truly open to it and not imposing your will. [/quote]
