Could be. I've got a few calls in to the local animal shelters to see if she's old enough to come volunteer, but I'm not sure she could handle leaving the kitties there.....she's a very kindred spirit. She reads, a lot! She has read the hunger games series, the twilight series, & the divergent series since Thanksgiving. She wants to go to Paris one day so she recently took up learning to speak French. We challenge each other to learn one new sentence per day. She tried a summer book club last summer, but they wanted her to talk about the book (duh?). "No, mom, like in front of everyone. I don't know them."I might be way off base here, but IMO, GYM0M, you just describe a child who is in need of a challenge. She sounds unmotivated and bored. What does she do a lot of? Find something along those lines, but at an advanced level (relative to where she is)...instead of 11 yr old reading, try high-school level, etc.

I have an 11 year old that doesn't really take pleasure in doing anything. There's not any one thing that she genuinely enjoys. She has tried EVERY thing under the sun and nothing sticks. Little sister (gymmie) idolizes her big sister. She's always excited to tell her about anything and everything. Older dd responses are just downright rude, sometimes. Examples: gymmie- hey sis, watch this video about cats (older dd loves cats, but that's the only thing), they watch video, it's funny and cute. Older dd- well I can't get those 2 minutes of my life back.......(Really?). #2 gymmie- guess what I did today? I made it to level 100 on circles (iPhone game)! Older dd- enthusiastically (like she's gonna say good job or neat) responds "And, I don't care!" Sometimes they get along great. Older dd is the same way towards my son, 10. I just can't put a finger on the root of her negativity and animosity.
