It's my daughter, doesn't believe us about needing to go to school. Doesn't believe she is a genius, but thinks she knows everything, literally. She transferred to internet H.S. to become a night owl schooler, but now, she is not even doing that. I keep telling her she will be up a creek. She thinks she could easily pass a GED but just found out she can't until 17. Then what? If she keeps going by continuing to fail. People/employers won't see how clever she is.Currently she is on the fast track to Juvi hall by police to go to school. She didn't even understand how the signals of a mailbox worked last year. My heart goes out to her, but if she thought about suicide before, she'll be wanting it later at this rate. What would you say to her? (Yes, hopefully she'll outgrow, but she will have lost too many opportunities that you and I take for granted, like schooling. She's been like this since 10 and been thru the system of child services, but still at home.)
