Driving me crazy

I love her. I really do. But I swear Jessica is going to be the death of me. I don't know what else to do. I'm tired of crying and worrying myself to death. Raising teens is the hardest job.

Hubby and I have always had a very strict school grade rule. Anything under a 75 warrants being grounded. That child of mine has been grounded pretty much since the 5th grade. I have talked to the teachers. I have talked to the counselor. I have talked to the vice principal and I am at the end of my own rope.

She's failing. I looked through her grades tonight and most of her failure is due to her own ignorance. What I mean by that is, she's not completing classwork and accepting zeros. Next year she enters high school. Her credits for graduation starts. I swear I'm so afraid she will not graduate or she will fail and be in the same grade with her younger sister.

If she doesn't get her ducks in a row, she will be buying industrial equipment supplies instead of school supplies. She's given up and doesn't care what her grades her. What gets me is, Jessica is so freakin' smart.

We have came to the conclusion that she doesn't want to show how smart she is. She's hanging out with the bad asses of the grade and wants to fit in. She's too worried about every Tom, Dick and Harry to pay attention.

I feel like I have failed my daughter. But she will be 15 in December and needs to learn to be responsible for her own actions. She needs to realize that not everyone will or can bail her out when she wants it. Someone please tell me this will get easier and she will open her eyes before it's too late. Or am I only dreaming?
