[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think OP is a troll. This is a common theme for high school aged teens especially boys. And for parents in this area, it’s very frustrating to see and compare their child to others who seem to be overly subscribed to every activity and AP class available. No wonder these poor kids are burned out! OP - let’s see the positives here. As far as you have mentioned, your DC isn’t out partying or doing drugs or getting into trouble. It sounds like he/she just needs a break for a bit. I would definitely continue therapy and just let your kid know that he/she is unconditionally loved and supported. At 15 he/she is probably seeing the intensity of school and life in the DMV adding up, and instead of joining in the rat race, they are tuning out. Let them have the break they need. And just keep talking to them. Maybe they don’t have the direction they think they need. [/quote]
