[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How could she refuse to go to school?!? That’s not an option. [/quote]

If OP goes to the Special Needs forum, which she might not do, because it doesn't sound as if she entirely recognizes the scope of her daughter's mental heath issues, she will see that this is called school refusal and is a known symptom in several diagnosed disorders that encompass autism, ADHD and anxiety.

The problem is not materialism here. It's the teen's mental health. [/quote]

Sorry, no. This is why schools are filled with entitled children who flout the rules. The kid is spoiled and throwing a tantrum like a 3 year old. I have adhd and anxiety and so does my son. My dd has anxiety. This would not happen at my house because I have had reasonable expectations for my children since they were little.

Stop blaming every single thing on mental health or disorders. You’re not doing your kids any favors. [/quote]

Stop saying this isn't a mental illness..it could very well be. This is not normal spoiled behavior it is not age appropriate at all.  [/quote]

She’s spoiled and acting like it. [/quote]
