if you try to change the behavior without dealing with the underlying cause,you wont suceed.......it might be your sister might have linked massive pain to studying in her nervous system,or it could be a belief problem........listen to me very carefully bro,people are not their behavior...what am i trying to say?this means the behavior your sister is exhibiting,is due to some underlying causes which even she might not be aware of...............if she isnt willing to change,then you cant do anything to help i'm sorry.............until she links pain to her current behavior,she wont change.......anyway ftc

I had to bring this here maybe I could get some helpful advice here as I am really clueless about what to do about her.

My younger sister is too dull. She is not smart and brilliant at all. She doesn't love studying at all. She is doing so poor in school due to her lackadaisical attitude towards studying. I have tried to talk her and advice her into studying, but she will just looking through it as if she doesn't know what she is reading and all.

During the time she was doing WAEC and NECO, you won't even know she was writting exam. My mum bought textbooks for her but she will end up misplacing them since she won't read them. What she enjoy doing most is just to eat,sleep and all these children story books. She is now fat like Bleep.

I always try to make her study or sometime even force her but there is little I can do for her as I can't put all the book in her head and I am not even always around because I'm in school.

I helped her check her waec result yesterday, and what I saw made me sad. She failed 6 subjects and passed only 3 subjects which she even had only C5 and C6.

I don't know what do to about her because I am tired. I don't want her to gain admission into the university with this kind of spirit because it's not going to help her at all. What can I do for her? How can I help her become more serious and become a better girl. She is 17.

Useful Advices will be highly appreciated.
Mods, please do the needful.

Thanks

After a very hectic day in the Office coupled with this terrible traffic am in, reading your reply to Op brought a huge smile to my face.
May the good Lord bless you beyond human understanding for this piece.
Henceforth, just know you have someone on Nairaland following you bumper to bumper.
Thanks for all your daily prayers.

You just describe me with your two stories.
I lost interest in studying while in junior secondary school, I will read all the newspapers, news magazines like Time, Newswatch but I will never spend ten minutes reading my textbooks.
I struggled academically till higher institution and have dropped out of school two times to finally pursue my dream.
My parents till date has refused to understand.
I have interest in ICT,
I can read all the business news,
Political news, Tech news but will hardly touch my text books.
When I tried to read my textbooks I do found myself losing interest as soon as I started reading.
I braved the odd when my grades start suffering and decide to focus on my dream.
Today I am making money as a digital marketer even due I'm not yet where I should be but I know I will get there.
I knew school is not meant for me.

I have a four years old daughter who might might turn out not to be really interested in studying. I'm still watching her

Your write up is great and eloquent. Nice advice not only for the OP but for the general folks out there. We all have to discover our inner self worth and pursue that dream. That’s what builds a great nation.
