[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, tell her just to hang in for one more semester and get her college apps in! Sit down with her and go over her extra currics to see if there are any she can cut.[/quote] Agree with this, given where she is (at the very end of high school). If your DD were at a earlier point in high school I'd reevaluate the school fit and maybe make a change. At this point I'd just help her cope as best you can. There's light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe when you have free moments you can help her process the experience she'd had so she learns something about what she wants in terms of work/life balance for college and beyond. Believe me, there are tons of college freshman who haven't thought about this and are just blindly repeating whatever they did in high school, and this can really be a problem for some of them. It sounds like your DD will have the advantage of having figured some things out about her goals and priorities.[/quote]
