Girls at that age who have more anxiety than normal (normal being all those crazy hormones running around in her) makes life really confusing... you don't know why you feel the way you do, and you really never want to tell anyone because it just sounds crazy, like an excuse. I know if I had math first period, I would have had a lot more anxiety (but that's because I'm a mathtard)
I really hope she pulls threw- you are having just as much anxiety as her and I hope you both can relax a bit more and hopefully she'll start to see the (morning) light :)

> Anxiety. She has always been a kid who threw up a LOT. (Every other week whether she needed to or not). I drive her to school because she gets "bus sick". We've decided that if she only throws up once, that it is "normal" for her - and she can go on with her day. If she throws up more than once, she has a bug. She dropped out of Nursery School when she was 3 because she couldn't let her parent (either one) leave her. She did fine when she was 4 (same school). She doesn't *talk* a lot about anxiety, but I could ask...

> Sometimes she has had insomnia problems. She's not talking about that now, but (again) I should probably ask.
