Real question, what is having ODD like, I'm sure it's not as simple as "i just want to be an asshole to anyone that tells me what to do"

I will message you.

What kinda qual is on that 5 dollar hit, wondering cause I can't do it.

 

[alk69]

I just found a HIT where you have to actually pray in order to finish it! If they only knew how often that happens....without pay.

 

[Bolbor]

hoping for some batches today because I don't think my brain can handle any more surveys this week

She's 15 a freshman in high school.....I'll tell the story. When she was younger she was diagnosed with ADHD and ODD, she was super difficult to deal with for awhile, temper tantrums lots of refusal to do things, just a difficult child. Her ability as a student isn't that she's dumb cause she's not..it's an effort thing. She has always done everything extremely slow, from chores to eating to school work, just really really slow.

Well for years she basically decided she wasn't going to do anything at school because they'd just pass her anyway. Riding her as a parent does nothing, at one point her counselor told us to let her fail, let real life consequences happen, we did, she didn't care.

Well now it's freshman year of high school....she's failing every class, and finally last night she is sitting here crying about how she can't pass anything after we told her for months she needed to put in effort this year. She won't do homework...she doesn't really do any work she is supposed to...

Then she'll bring up her magic bullet idea "can I be home schooled" to which I'm like oh no....you don't listen to me about picking up your shoes let alone that...not to mention she's lazy and thinks home school means she won't have to do anything.

I just don't know how to give someone a drive/work ethic that does not have one, she skips class, has like 50 tardies, and I got a call the other day that she refused to put her phone away about 7 times when a teacher told her to.

She is also part of major drama at school....she lives for that shit though.

That is what I am dealing with.

This might have been mentioned but I haven't read on. Is she formally diagnossed with ADHD and OCD? If so do you have an IEP for her? Maybe that can help her if they create something that would work for her and her teachers know about it.

They won't give her an IEP for ADHD. Tried that road several times.

Must have completed Part 1

 

[Tandem In Time]

I understand that, she went through a lot of this at a younger age...she was on meds which mellowed her out to a degree but her school stuff never improved and mom would rather not have her medicated which I understand.

Not sure if this will help, but have you thought about getting her involved in some sort of volunteer activity where she's able to tutor or coach needy kids, specifically kids from disadvantaged families/communities?

My cousin has something that resembles ODD. The harder she is pushed to achieve or to do something, the more she resists. However, when she has people who need her to achieve or do something, then she really shapes up and can get shit done. She also really gravitated towards the slackers and the losers who were too-cool-for-school.

Anyway, I observed that my cousin really gets caught-up in her own struggles and issues, and getting pestered by her mom/dad didn't really help. But she's all aces when someone else needs her and benefits from her time/efforts. It's almost like she really needs to find motivation/purpose outside of herself, because she just can't muster motivation up internally.

Also, as a teenager, I personally found volunteering at homeless shelters and food kitchens helped put life into perspective for me... It's like, whatever issues or problems I had in my life (especially stupid teenage issues), I was reminded me how fortunate I was for the things I did have. Also, I as I got to know more of the kids & families we were helping, it made me realize how tenuous my own socio-economic security really is, because many of them came from similar backgrounds as myself, and a handful of bad choices in life (or bad people in their lieves) put them down a path that was hard to climb back up from... gave me the perspective that I really need to work hard to avoid ever slipping so far down that's it's too hard to get back up.

Anyway, not really advice... just some thoughts...

Ask for a 504 plan then.

I had technical errors yesterday and the requester was really polite and responsive, just FYI.

Hrm, never even considered that, maybe it's not a bad idea.

[alk69]

There is not enough coffee on the planet for today. A good reason to skip today entirely.....Mturk may be an even better reason.
