[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for all the advice. We are currently looking for a new tutor and encourage her to talk to her math teacher who seems like a very nice lady. She is planning on going to school in Europe since she has a citizenship in one of the countries but DH and I agree that grades are still extremely important. As for sports and clubs she has joined a couple the first few weeks but stopped going because she didn’t feel like it. [b]She keeps saying she wants her old life back and I feel so bad because she can’t[/b].[/quote]

The bolded part is why you need to find her a counselor or therapist, at least to get through this initial period.  It's true, she can't go back, but sounds like you guys have reached your limit of what context and strategies you can offer her to try to get through it, so turn it over to a professional.  This transition is hard for so many freshmen, but that doesn't mean that getting help with it isn't important.  And if money is an issue, have you asked the school what counseling services (and also what "transition services" (the transition from middle to high school)) they have for new students?  Ask.  Get some adults who are very familiar with these challenges to weigh in and maybe a couple to talk to your daughter.[/quote]
