I don't think she is afraid to graduate - she is talking about college etc. US History is not her favorite subject, I can't imagine that she *wants* to take it again!Falls, there are other things she's getting out of this though. Firstly is a lot of attention from you/teachers/whatever. Also, sometimes kids will act out if their parents aren't getting on. An unconscious way for them to keep the parents together, ie the parents have to unite to fix the kid's problems. Not sure if that's an issue for you.
I think you need to look at Shortelise's question from a broader sense.
