I have 3 sons, no girls and I'm trying to help with my niece. She's nearly 18, a senior in high school and a below average student. The problem? She's struggling to try and keep her grades at the passing level. Currently, she's flunking chemistry and history.
She's always given assignments well ahead of time, but does nothing until the last minute, she doesn't ask the teacher any questions about the material she doesn't understand, which is most of the time and her mom steps in to do the assignment, with my niece not doing anything.
The little grades she does make on her own, she will fuss at the teacher if it's a low or flunking grade and will basically give up on everything. She doesn't work after school, she doesn't play sports, she mostly gets on the computer, with her xanga site or myspace and blog. She doesn't do drugs, has friends, talks on the phone, is she just lazy? Is her mom spoiling her by doing her homework? How do I help her address the problem?
