[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: I want to stress I am easy going and I would be the first to let her relax a bit once college letters were received. [b]Most of her friends have their college plans handled.[/b] She does not and I reminded her of that frequently. I honestly think she was/is unable to grasp that her friends could afford to lay off the gas and she couldn't.[/quote] [b]Seems very unlikely unless everyone did early admission or is going to a college with incredibly fast turn around times. [/b] Let me also say that you have no way of bailing her out. She has to want it and fix it, you can't do this one for her. At some point, kids have to earn their own grades and be responsible on their own. Have you tried talking with her? Or only irrationally screaming about how her life is ruined? [/quote] Even if they all did early admission they should be aware that those offers of admission can be rescinded if their grades really tank. [/quote]
