Need Experienced Mom Help

My kid is playing sick again. I just don't know what to do.

She's 16. She refuses to go to the doctor or school today. I know she is clearly NOT sick. We went to an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor yesterday to check on her tonsils. They're HUGE, but fine.

She really was sick last week, but this is just plain laziness, avoidance, something...I am stuck.

All I have is if she's sick, she's not hanging out with friends or driving or having any kind of teenage life. She'll go for that on the day she plays sick, but, I told her she clearly isn't getting better and I have decided this weekend (homecoming weekend) is going to have to be one of rest and relaxation to "get well." It's obvious that she can make it to school, but after hanging out with her friends after school, she relapses and is too ill to get up and go to school, sooooooooo.....

we have to reverse things. She'll just have to go to school, come home and stay put so she can have enough energy to go to school again.

Anyway, we can't MAKE her get up, go, or anything...she's so stubborn, and it's more than I know how to clearly handle.

I plan on calling her counselor or prinicipal...maybe get a conference. We're just stumped.

Help! What would you do?
