[QUOTE="DDD, post: 264511, member: 35"] Welcome. My post will be short (or as short as I can make it as I do tend to runon and runon, lol). Probably what was said about the bipolar was that it could be a future diagnosis. Many experts do not label children as BiPolar (BP) and prefer to wait until they have matured. in my humble opinion the actual description of the problems don't matter too much so long as appropriate care makes it possible for the child to function at his/her best. We are at the end of the road after eight teenagers. Some behaviors are typical teen but there are issues that you describe that I think really make it necessary for you to find a means to identify her issues and find the right treatment. Like everyone else I believe a neuro-psychiatric evaluation would be the best first step. Scholastic testing should be cost free via your school system. Make the call and see what they say. Or..call the tollfree number for your State Board of Education and speak to the person in charge of homeschooling and ask for help and options. I'm sure each State has such a person. I'm curious. Where has she made her friends if she is home schooled and stays home most of the time? Are they positive peer role models? That would be important as they could be strongly impacting her. I've got to get back to work. See how "short" my "short posts" are??:blushing: DDD [/QUOTE]
