Teenager problem

[scorpio1162]

My honor student, 16 yr old daughter decided she no longer wants to go to school and wants to be home school..I don't understand what is going on?  She has been seeing this boy for 6 months, he dropped out of school and does not work?  What can I do???

i recently tried to get my mom to homeschool me for the last 2 years of HS. i might understand what shes going through. for me it wasnt just the boyfriend or the teasing, it was the pressure. I had been getting a lot of **** from people about sex and drugs and even though i had never done any of those things, the pressure was putting stress on me in class and would make doing homework very hard. i would say check her grades, if they arent slipping then maybe its just her wanting to spend time with her boyfriend. if they are slipping, do as feeling_lumpy said and talk to her...dont yell, dont push the talk, just listen. let her know that you want to understand the true reason behind all of this and she just might open up. and u can start by asking her if she knows that your always there if she needs anything and then just leave it at that. REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY works on us teenagers all the time!!!

hope this helps!

Has she been having any problems with being teased or feeling left out? Maybe she would just feel more comfortable being schooled at home or many she hates going to school due to mean teenage girls. SHe may also think stay home for school = more time with her boyfriend who also isnt in school. I would get to the true bottom of the issue before you allow it to happen. Maybe talk with a counselor at school for guidance. Good Luck

i would say chances are very good she will get over it but watch out for her.    tell us more about the boy he seems like chaos, and the fact that she is looking for a chaotic boy implys that their is either chaos at home or she went through something traumatic

it seems your daughter is going threw peer presure...
i know, i'm also sixteen try to speek to her...but dont embarras her..
don't yell, or try to talk over her...just listen.
if she dose not want to talk, she is either scared or she just dose not want to talk.
relax she'll get over it!
