F is for Failure (Us, Not Her)

This girl, Ashley. She has some serrrrrrrrrrrious issues. I don't really know what I"m talking about, but she seems pretty manic to me. She's either incredibly morose and quiet, barely talking and not very communicative.
Other times (sometimes the next day, sometimes the next hour, sometimes the next minute) she is completely uncontrollable, running around with a crazy look in her eyes. She'll scream and yell and pull her hair. You can't touch her or talk to her. It's so bad even the other kids ignore her when she gets like that. "She wants you to chase her, Miss Vinson."
I don't have any idea what kind of help she needs but I'm 100% certain she needs some.
I was told today that the only way she can get any help whatsoever is if she fails all her classes next quarter.

Once again, the broken-ness of the system is so evident. What is wrong with us???
