My recently turned 14 DD has been wagging school.
Everyday!!
She catches the bus to school, stays till recess or lunch, then takes off & doesn't catch the bus home. which means I then have to pack up the other kids & go for a 90k round trip to go find her. When I do she is hostile & very violent.
She's got that " I can do whatever I please" attitude
It's got to the point now, where I am at my wits end, I'm sick of meetings with the principal, they do nothing, she's good for a few days & then she's off again.
I know that she has gotten herself into the wrong crowd, but being a smallish country school, choices of friends are limited IYKWIM.But she is such a strong willed girl, why is she giving into peer pressure? OH FFS I've had it.

Nothing works, the counselling was a total waste of time, she just sat there & stared out the window, saying the occasional I don't know, or I don't care.

On Wednesday I received a letter from DET reminding me it is an offence for me not to send my child to school, WTF I do everyday!! I now have a meeting with them next week.

I really do not understand what is going on.
OK I wasn't a goody goody 2 shoes ( as she likes to say) when I went to school or when I was her age, but I NEVER EVER, put my parents through this.

I'd love to delvge into her mind & see what is going on in there.
Could it be pay backs for something I've done/ haven't done?
Ok when she is going off in her anger mood I get told I am too strickt, & I am a cold hearted ***** with a pole shoved up my ass. OK so yeah, I don't back down & I don't give in, she knows this.
I seem to be the one carrying on like a drama queen when she does wrong, because in her eyes, she hasn't done anything wrong.
I don't get it I really don't

I'll have to cme back & finish, I think WW3 is starting inthe kitchen.....
