My 10th grade daughter has failed every grade since 6th grade ... help I'm losing it!!?

How'd she make it to the 10th grade if she failed every grade since 6th? Maybe you should take her out of her social climate and homeschool her or better yet enroll her in one of those sylvan learning programs. When all else fails, call Maury and he will get her together.

Take on a tour of a prison. Or make her work at a McDonald's for a couple of months and see how she would like to work there for the rest of her life if she doesent get her grades up.

there is nothing really you can do. I know its hard but all your efforts so far have failed, this is not your fault its hers. You need to focus more on yourself and try and be a good mother. Its probably time to tell her that it is only hurting herself and that if she does not improve she will be stuck in a dead end job. You have done your best, if she is not prepared to do hers, well thats her problem. Being a mother is so tough, just keep going, it will get better

There are medications for depression but I don't think you need them. Try enrolling her in something like a Sylvan Learning Center, and make strict rules about her pulling up her grades. If she doesn't comply, take away her things she likes, tv, phone, computer etc. If that doesn't work take away her freedom to hang out with her friends, or go places when she wants too. If she starts doing better in school, your depression will go away. The best thing to do is don't show your frustration and once you make a threat, do not yield on it. Giving in just feeds the beast.

My oldest son has always been good looking and popular. He always made f's and d's but at the last second he pull it up just enough to pass. Then on tests he'd score the highest in the school! Smart, but lazy! When he graduated we told him he could get a job and pay rent or go to school and we'd pay. He went to college and flunked! I refused to pay for another semester and I was ready to help him pack his bags! He got a job and paid for school himself. That semester he made all A's and got all kinds of scholarships and grants that continue to pay for his school. He continues to make a's and he works part time. I guess all I'm trying to say it that maybe one day your daughter will grow up, too. Hang in there.

Well i am a sophmore and ive seen plenty of gorgeous girls not try because of the groups there in. Alot of the time it could be because of her friends, Or maybe those who arent her friends (picking on her and what not) She probabally is a very smart girl, Alot choose to through there life away because they feel that there looks will get them just as far as smarts (seen it happen) Maybe a boy is involved Alot of teenagers focus more on there social life then preparing for the future. What your feeling is completely normal. Maybe you really need to talk to her. Sit her down, just you and her and make sure she knows its buisness. Have consequences every time her grades slip. When they go up have rewards. This could easily improve things.. I mean your in a really tight situation Talk to each of her teachers, Find out what she actually does in class If she talks, thats the problem (not focusing) If she does pay attention then she could just be down right lazy, I know i cant really help in the fact im not a mother myself but i know alot about my peers and all. Just hope i could give you some idea, :) good luck with it all miss!

ASK HER:WHAT THE F***K ARE U GONNA DO WITH UR LIFE?

Her looks are not going to get her through life. Teach her that, it's a little too late now because she is in 10th grade.

Tell her to get her *** in shape or you'll send her to military school. They don't take no crap there.
