[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 659940, member: 11791"] I'm not sure I have the story straight, but this is what I'm hearing in your posts: - She's 14 - She was basically a good kid, until the last year or so - In that year, her parents split up. - I'm not sure what your school system is like. Here, she'd be finishing grade 8, heading into high school next year. But some places have junior high for grades 7-9 and lots goes on there, too. - She's hit the roughest years of a girls life - the hormones are insane, to the point that some girls really are going insane. - Peer pressure is insane, because we've set up society to revolve around it. - There is nothing in your post to suggest mental illness, but if it runs in either side of the family, this is an age when things can start to show up. There's more reasons to be going out of control, than there are reasons not to. Her world has been shattered. She is in emotional pain. Lashing out is a reaction to that. Yes, it's ugly. Yes, she can be seriously hurt in the process - by people, by the drugs, by violence, by other things that come with this lifestyle. I'm assuming you work full time, and so cannot be with her 24/7? What was your bond like with her - close? or was she closer to her Dad? Does she have other close adult relationships (aunts, uncles, grandparents, older cousins)? [/QUOTE]
