Make sure she has a career plan, and not just throwing her baby out of the pram cos she's finding it a little hard.

I know that a person can't change unless they want to, but how else can I convince her that dropping out is a bad choice? She must be tired of hearing the same things over and over..

Replies beingme Posted at 10:44 am on Dec. 4, 2008 ask her whats the maiiiin reason she wants to leave school. sometimes there are real good reasons. or if you think she wont trust you enouph to tell you whats going on. ask her mom or dad or someone real close to her to ask her just that. good luck! (most people who drop out of school are sometimes most successful so who knows this is for real i've met many great people like this) Descartes Posted at 10:39 am on Dec. 4, 2008 hit her with a 2x4 of common sense to the face!!! yellowsapphire Posted at 10:39 am on Dec. 4, 2008 Ask her if she knows for definite what she's doing afterwards.
