[QUOTE="dadside, post: 264289, member: 5707"] I'm no expert, but what you described sure doesn't sound like a "normal teen", particularly with the sleeping and learning issues (reading and math). The belly button self-piercing probably isn't a sign of anything amiss, but cut marks may be significant. I think that at a minimum she should have at least one, and probably several sessions with a trained counselor - psychologist or CSW. Also, she should have some educational evaluations to identify the learning problems and how to address them. I know most of this would be provided by the local schools if she were enrolled, and I think they may be required to provide it even she is home schooled (they certainly would if she were in a private school, so homeschool may fit there). Special support services may also be supplied by the local school system as well. The place to start might be the special education office of your local school district. [/QUOTE]
