she was found through the school I thought it was better than just going to a Dr that was just goona give him the meds and ask us how he was doing 5|3|Adderall saved my dd. The change was just unbeleivable. It got to the point that the phone would ring at home and the school number would be on it and would cringe answering it. Switched to adderall and she became a straight a girl with good attendance and goo study habits of her own accord(meaning without my riding her at all). My hopes and prayers for you both....sophomore year was a tuening point for us. Good luck! Can you get her in to a pediatric neurologist? That is who my dd saw for her adhd|Barb09|Barb0969@AOL.com|17:17:51|04/16/2014|

Meeting went well they said it was too late to change her school setting this year..She will fail if she doesn't work hard at the in school credit recovery they already offer at the school...We had an intervention she seemed to respond but I don't think it worked...We will see...She has tried adderall and focalin and all those meds nothing has worked great we have tried concerta before too now we are back on it She attends counseling but the places that are available to us are lousy ..get this I found today that ..She actually told the teacher she wasn't going to do anything one day he asked her why she because it's Friday an I don't want too..She is something else...I can't believe she said that I told him to call me next time she tried that I'd come down there and set her straight she doesn't talk to people that especially teachers geeze how embarrassing... please pray for us that is all that is going to help us now
8|2|Seems to me that IEP goals might need to be changed|kdrink|kdrink34@yahoo.com|21:32:03|04/20/2014|
If she is in SPED, then perhaps a meeting to change her goals re: school work in English and Math and failing grades might need to be addressed. Just a suggestion. 9|3|GOT CAUGHT SKIPPING GEEZE WHAT NOW GRRR it gets worse |gwens29|gwen41539@bellsouth.net|11:43:33|04/24/2014|
She said that her friend who just had art outside had left something outside and she went with her to get it but they missed the bell she knew she was caught so she just stayed out there on the football field with the other girl who was in trouble too because they knew they had already been caught and enjoy the day that is what she told me...She said she was already in trouble 5min or 2hrs the punishment as the same she got 2 days in school suspension and the principal wants me to enroll her immediately in alternative school Monday morning her said he doesn't have enough to do it himself she hasn't cause any major trouble at school to go be for the court system but that I could enrol her myself they offer small classes 10 students counseling 2 times a day mandatory and a dress code etc I'm hoping this will help I found out after she came home that she had been smoking still and.chewing tobacco because I had been checking her clothing for scents of it and stuff so she switched to chewing it I'm going crazy here I don't know where I went wrong what I done wrong she says I care about her to much that she wishes I was like other mothers who let their kids run wild and do whatever they want...I give her no freedom but with behavior like this can u blame me? She goes to counseling but she thinks they are crazy and don't know anything she doesn't listen..to them or me...I'm so afraid I know she is going to end up in a very bad place and all I can do is watch her I don't understand why she is like this all I have done her whole life is love and protect her why is she doing this to me it's destroying me little by little every day ...it's breaking my heart

Keep alert and tell her that you love her and that she doesn't have to be the best, just to try her best. I know many "bad kids", or who many perceive "as bad", but with a little patience, trust, time, counseling, and someone who your daughter knows has her back no matter what......things usually work out. You might not be able to control everything and people do make mistakes. What matters is that one learns from their mistakes.
If things go haywire at least you know that you did your best and that is all a parent can do.
13|3|I second what kdrink said.|Ranalt|ainebailey@gmail.com|10:49:59|04/28/2014|
Sometimes, we focus only on the mistakes. Our children are human and they are going to make mistakes. At the time, some may seem like the end of the world.
Take deep breath. Try focusing on something your DD does well, or something kind she does. If you only focus on the negative, that is all you're going to see.
Life is like a cup of tea,
It's all in how you make it.
