[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 287841, member: 7083"] Without knowing your daughter, here are my thoughts: She messed up and has been facing consequences. And she's having to face consequences around others - embarrassing. She may feel bad about messing up and disappointing people. Or she may feel like she is "marked" and is going to get in trouble for everything. Her reaction seems over the top, but she keeps fueling it with her behavior. I remember being a depressed teen and feeling like I had dug myself in a hole and wanted my mom to come rescue me. I remember sobbing hysterically and begging. My mom didn't rescue me, but she did encourage me to work through it. She had a way of doing that - a way of encouraging me so that I believed I could do it and calming me down, too. And I did work through it. I could be way off base. But, those are my thoughts. [/QUOTE]
