[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 480457"] I know how you feel. I have felt that very same way (and truth be told, I still do on the bad days) and I understand it. Have you spoken to her guidance counselor? If so, what did he say? I would pick your battles. It seems like you are trying to get her to do everything that you want her to do, and I know that with my difficult child it never works. He's pretty good about showering, and he's great about school. But cleaning his room up? Making sure his clothing is put away properly? Not so much, and as much as I would like to make it look better, I just walk away. If she's refusing to shower and you can get her to school, let her go and be smelly. Eventually, one of her peers will say something to her and she might get the hint. When was the last time she had a physical? Make an appointment with the pediatrician and tell them about the sudden change in her. Maybe there is something that is physically contributing to her change in demeanor. [/QUOTE]
