She's a good kid Jason, just needs some TLC from time to time. I think 11th grade is one of those tough times for kids with school and transitioning into becoming a young adult, and you simply need to keep em' focused in the right direction and away from bad influences. One thing she understands is "consequences."

She's coming back around already and the grades are improving

Fantastic!! Glad to hear it. I agree, and there are so many bad influences. No doubt she's a good kid, just needed focus.
