[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. No extracurriculars, no sports. Spends her time on the phone or doing nothing. Has zero interest in doing well. Just complete lack of care about performing well. Cares more about her appearance and socializing. This is not a depression issue, it's an IDGAF issue and I'm at my wit's end![/quote]

She needs a plan.  One she creates for herself, not dictated by anyone else. Support her when she figures out a plan, even if it is not the one you have envisioned for her.  She doesn't see a future for herself right now, so she is trying to elongate the adolescent  time frame and she is scared so she is acting like she doesn't care.   I think therapy for her and parents would be a good idea.  Ruling out depression is a good idea frequently IDGAF attitude is a coping mechanism for depression/anxiety. If you have not already done so, ruling out any other LDs would be good too.  Letting go of your end of the rope is a good idea.

Out of the box things could a gap year where she works, is an exchange student, au pair.... Then CC.  [/quote]
