She must be undergoing some stress or psychological issue, which needs to be addressed asap otherwise it may get complicated. It seems to be more due to any trauma she might have faced, which is hampering her studies.
It can be well treated with counseling sessions and homeopathic medicine if required.

Hi
It seems like your daughter could be upset about something. Try to ask her if she is alright and tell her you are there for her if she needs anything. Consult a psychologist and talk about your daughters condition and what she could be going through. You are worried that your daughter doesn’t open up about her feelings. With a psychologist you can explain about your relationship with your daughter. You can first talk on your daughters behalf and later you can encourage your daughter to take up counseling sessions.
Next Steps
Consult a psychologist

Even though those are the normal behaviours during the Puberty,
I still would suggest you to observe her closely and carefully about her friends and contacts..
Is she the only child..
If not, is she talking with her siblings atleast..
Please do Consult a psychological Counselor /Therapist for more clarity and understanding..

During this puberty period, parenting play an important role in upbringing. Kindly remain friendly with her as a friend only, be non-judgemental to her when communicating with her, slowly she will open up her feelings.
Don't force her Just to study, try to understand root cause of declining her interest in academic.
It will take time, continue efforts and patience, so you have to keep patience.
Be in touch with counselor for learning more resources skills to deal with children.
If required child counselor can work with both of you.

Hi... You can make out that she is going through puberty and this is a phase of transition in various aspects of life - physical, emotional, and social. Different teenagers tend to respond differently to these changes and she is just being more reserved. You can seek help of a therapist to help her overcome any issues she's going through. You can also seek parent counselling to help you better respond to her needs.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
Interpersonal Guidance and Counselling is required.
