[quote=Anonymous]Two of my daughter's friends were a bit like this. One had extreme anxiety and probably some depression and her mom just let her miss school all the time and eventually, she just started going back to school. She did see a therapist as did her mom.

The other went to school, but didn't care about her classes and was failing most of them, spent most of high school partying, sleeping and watching tv. After high school, she is now redoing/upgrading her high school courses.

Both of these families had older typical university path kids, so maybe they felt more confident to just let these kids be? I would have found this very stressful and like I needed to fix it. But ultimately, both of these young ladies are doing well now and seem to have just needed to make their own choices and live them out.

I do agree that she needs to get a job. Working a lower level job is a great way to realize they actually may want an education, and if they work with other teens and young adults, the conversations around uni and upgrading seemed to be quite motivating.[/quote]
