It was two year ago, but this thing claimed she was so ill with EDS (a connective tissue problem that's made worse by extra weight) that she couldn't do any school work even though she had TONS of help like online classes and working from home.

But she's healthy enough apparently to go to prom.

BTW this story ends by her getting what she wants and they made a whole news segment of her shopping for her prom dress blah blah blah.

Moral of the story: if it bitches hard enough people will let it have its way (mostly to shut it up).

Yup. And she claims it's too hard to type as her excuse. But the thing is, there are some pretty great talk-to-text programs out there. And thanks to things like the ADA, schools are legally required to provide accommodations to disabled students. I'm sure her school would provide this (not expensive really, my brother has it through his school for his ADHD) if this was actually the reason her work wasn't getting done.
