don't be a lemming.....educate yourself and make informed decisions....
This is a very tough age for parents and children....they are going through puberty and are soooo vulnerable. We as parents need tons of open ears, patience and sympathy.
One thing I did was let them read things they were interested in (regulated of course) my daughters we into make-up, clothes, singers, animals, etc. so I bought magazines they were interested in. Thier their teachers called within 3 weeks asking what I was doing and I told them. In a couple months grades went up and so did school interest. But remember when you were in Jr High....and have pitty on them
Something is probably affecting his/her mind. You cannot really MAKE the kid re-focus but let him/her smoothly get into it. That is the age plus high school when things are screwed up. Let the child find his/her own direction but keep an eyes on the kid.
