She Told Her Teen Daughter That Her Grades Were More Important Than Her Pain After She Was In A Car Accident
This forty-six-year-old woman’s daughter, who is sixteen, was just in a car accident this past July. And according to her, most of her daughter’s injuries were mild.
“She went to the hospital, but they let her go home after a few days of observation,” she recalled.
However, even after her daughter got released from the hospital, she would not stop complaining about pain.
And at first, she was quite concerned, so she took her daughter to their general practitioner. Still, though, the doctor did not find anything wrong with her daughter.
In turn, she basically just told her daughter that the pain was all in her head, probably as a result of the traumatic experience, and that she would feel fine in just a few days.
Then, she noticed that her daughter stopped complaining after that conversation and thought that everything had returned back to normal for the past two months.
Well, that was until yesterday when she received an email from her daughter’s teacher. Apparently, the teacher claimed that her daughter was constantly despondent, did not participate in class, and laid their head down on their desk a lot.
And despite immediately becoming furious, she decided to go one step further.
“I was already seeing red from that [email], and I decided to check on her grades. She had turned in multiple assignments late and lost points on them– which is not at all on par with her typical performance,” she revealed.

Anyway, she ended up confronting her daughter afterward about the slip-ups. And at first, her daughter was super quiet and did not know what to say.
But, after she kept on pushing, her daughter ultimately said that she was still suffering pain from the car accident. Shockingly, though, this only pushed her further over the edge.
In fact, she thought that her daughter was blatantly lying to her– especially since the car accident was months ago and her daughter had not mentioned anything about pain since their last conversation.
So, the two ended up getting into a huge argument, and she harshly told her daughter that “her grades matter more than her pain.”
“She is a junior this year. It is not time to be slacking,” she underscored.
Well, if her daughter was already showing signs of despondency before, she was only more withdrawn after hearing that. Her daughter has since locked themself in their room and refuses to talk to anyone. Plus, her daughter even refused to go to school yesterday.
So now, she is at a complete loss about what to do because her daughter has never acted like this. Additionally, she has started to wonder if telling her daughter that her grades were more important than her pain was a really dismissive and jerky thing to do.
Do you think telling her daughter that grades were more important was the right thing to do? Could her daughter possibly be suffering from pain that the general practitioner missed? What would you do in her shoes?
