I had my IEP meeting for my 17 yr. old today. We were informed she would not be graduating with her class. The only remotely possible way that could happen is if she went to summer school the next 2 years and took all academic classes and passed them. She didn't seem interested. It was a sad day!

I am so sorry! That's hard news to hear for any parent.

It's so hard being a parent of these kids. It can be very discouraging, especially if they're still in a bad place when they're a teenager. After that point, it's pretty much they have to make the decision on their own to get better – and that might be a while down the road, if ever…

I agree Matt, they have to make that choice to change… and it's hard watching them sink!

Aww I am so sorry. It's hard to watch them grow up and let them make their own mistakes and learn on their own. Best of luck to you.

Thanks Meliss. On a positive note, she's doing much better now, though it's in Tennessee with her birth mom. We made the tough decision to send her there, and to have her stay, at least for the time being. She's just about passed her GED tests, then she's enrolling in nursing school. Plus, she's making a little money selling jewelry, and enjoying her new (2nd) family. They have to follow their own path.

Um.. this is just a suggestion. Why don't you enroll her in an all girls boarding school? So that she will be forced to attend classes plus she will be monitored. It was good academic and non-academic programs, I'm sure she will find something that will interest her. I know it might be a little drastic but if you really want her to successfully finish school when she seems to be "not interested" then it would good for her.
