Yowza, wouldn't wish this on anyone. Went though the same with my now 21 yr old son hit 15ish...but worse. Every kid is different...so are solutions.

Tried tutors, bribes, rewards...all of it. No joy.

Your daughter sounds bright. Today's world of internet and social media beat the hell out of kid's self image and confidence.

Sounds like a possible confidence issue. No amount of educational bribery or coercion will work. She's in her own head and "no friggin' adult gets it". However, I'd bet the house that one (or more) of her close friends do. That's where the real worry should lie. They can, and might, convince her to do ANYTHING. Legal, immoral or otherwise.

Have her check out a Jujitsu school. I'm 100% serious. Maybe some other form of martial arts.

But, she'll fight every approach trying to push her in a direction you insist upon out of principle.

Maybe get out of your own head.

The fact you and Mom are still together is huge. Many prayers to your whole family.

Btw, a GED is just fine. It's what they do afterwards that determines their success. A very close friend was a Headhunter for several years. He saw every type of education come through his desk. The GED folks that went on to higher education had a different vibe about them. Not a negative at all. But again, it's what they do afterwards.
