I'm going through a difficult time with a teenager that does not want to be at school. In 6th year (but one of youngest in year) doesn't know what she wants to do but (seems) everyone else knows their career choice, filling in UCAS forms, has uni offers etc etc. There seems to be so so so much pressure for all children to go on to further education. Is that not why we have to pay extortionate prices for plumbers, electricians etc as they are a dying breed. Very very unhappy child, whatever I suggest is wrong but i'm only trying to advise. Dont want her to resent me for saying school is best, don't want her to regret leaving cos there is no going back. She does have a good part time job but I don't want her to leave school to wait around all day for a couple of evenings a week.
Younger one has now said that they are getting a fair heap of hassle from a supposed friend who is influencing mutual friends against her. She is bright, doing well, strong and brave and certainly doesn't take any sh*t but there is still only so much she can take.
My OH works nights so leaves at half 6. Its all down to me with the family and i'm struggling big time.
Sorry, bit of a ramble but this is the umpteenth night on a row i'm tearful.
