[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like your kid is overextended. They don't have to take all of those advanced classes. [/quote]

OP here.  No, she really isn’t.  She’s very bright and handles the AP’s fairly easily.  She’s getting all A’s with just a couple hours of homework each night.   Her ec’s are student government and debate which is more time consuming but not unmanageable.

My concern is her lack of interest in high school life.  She’s missed countless parties and school social events because she wanted to work (babysit) instead.  She’s working all day today and this evening and had no problem canceling plans with friends when this job came up.

She’s socially checked out of high school.  All she wants with her free time is to make money for college. [/quote]

Well what's her financial reality for college? Will she have to work all the way through it?  Maybe she's really stressed about the responsibility and is focused on getting a jump on it so she has more time to study once she's in college?  That seems possible.

I don't see anything drastically unusual about her behavior in the broad sense. Knowing a bit life change is coming up and maybe being over your current life or friends or school seems common.[/quote]
