| that's what my parents did to me when i tried to stay home from school all the time BUT what they didn't know is that the reason i faked being ill all the time was so i didn't have to go because i was being badly bullied and it actually made me sick sometimes to think i had to go back. luckily we moved so i went to a new school and was very happy there and went again. maybe this is what the matter is with your daughter. sometimes teens find it really hard to tell there parents they are being bullied. its not always as easy to speak up as people think. try to talk to her, maybe suggest to her if she wants to try a new school? if she says yes then clearly you know she is being bullied and is unhappy. i doubt she would fake illness for a long time everyday if she was ok with school and she certainly would go if she thought her weekends were at stake and she was fine with school. |
