I went through high school and most of college with little motivation. It wasn't that the classes weren't interesting (at least for the most part). I just was never challenged. The classes always went too slow. Every teacher I had in grade school and high school always told my parents I had great potential, but I needed to apply myself and while I was able to take some advanced classes in high school they were still not a challenge.
I don't know if you daughter is having the same problem, but if she is I'd suggest trying to get her into more advanced classes, possibly at a local college. Find out where her intrests lie and get her stimulated.
