[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]8th grade. Mostly all A's.  Lots of friends, not being bullied or bullying anyone. Gets along with all teachers though dislikes misogynistic gym teacher.  Has to be at school by 8:10.  Today would not leave the house until 8:56 when I finally took her backpack and threw it into the hallway outside our apartment, with her keys. Then the second she stepped outside I slammed the door shut. I had woken her at 7:20.

When I go in every ten minutes she says "I'm up, I'm up." But then futzes around her room. Please do not say to take everything out of her room - we have a one bedroom apartment and there's nowhere else to put all her things. On Tuesday I couldn't get her up and she didn't go to school at all. Her first period is her favorite class with her favorite teacher. She's happy once she's AT school. Help.[/quote]

NP here and I haven't read all the replies.  Want to say, get a Philips Wake-Up Light.  It completely changed my DDs behavior.  Best investment ever!  We ended up getting one for every member of the family. Even if there is something more going on with your DC, this can do nothing but help.[/quote]
