I went through something similar in high school but I think it had a lot to do with feeling socially isolated. I was just sick of being in a world full of people who were not on the same page as me. I was tired of being weird and different. I hated my life. I just kinda slogged my way through it all.
Ditto. It wasn't until college that I started to find a critical mass of like-minded people, and since then it's been a lot better. I'm so sorry your DD is feeling this way. Unfortunately it does seem to be a common experience. Maybe she would find some comfort in hearing that??
FWIW, I also got things wrong on purpose in early grade school, more out of boredom than anything else, but that didn't last long. Fortunately I was adequately challenged in regular school so at least academic boredom wasn't an issue for me. Best of luck to you and your DD
