    Academically underachieving teens tend to gravitate toward the down and out crowd.Academic underachievers often become a behavior problem just to fit in. They’d rather migrate toward peers who are underachieving purely out of rebellion, because they can act like they just don’t care about academics when they are in that crowd. Actually they do care, but they need help to get back on track.

    A parent can help an underachiever by helping them get organized in their learning, as well as by finding and building up strengths that amay be outside of academics.

    If your teen is gravitating toward the down and out crowd, take the main focus off their misbehavior and put it instead on finding ways to build up their self-esteem.
