All youngsters go through traumas at times.I am sorry you have found this it must be distressing for you. When she comes in at a convenient moment sit down together and give her a big hug.Tell her how you value her and what a beautiful and clever girl she is.Tell her in this busy world we sometimes don't remember to say THAT WE LOVE SOMEONE OFTEN ENOUGH.Leave the drawing where you found it and don't refer to it. She is very fragile at the moment and seems to have low self esteem. Build her confidence.Ask her opinion,make her important . It will pass.Many teenagers go through this. Hugs to you both- Rose

Peppermint, If you are able to do this, maybe organise an afternoon/day out, just the 2 of you, have a girlie day and wait to see if she opens up to you. Make her feel that she is the most important person in the world to you. Sometimes our lives get so busy and we need time to relax together. June xx

Bear in mind-not trying to trivialise this at all but- bear in mind that it might be an offshoot of something she is doing at school. Has she recently started any sex education or anything arund that? that often kicks in at about 11, and me schools start a bick further back - knowing yourself as well as other people before they start on the relationship/birds and bees. is it on her school timetable yet?

Thank you Peta, she is at primary school and her SATS` are coming up shortly and i am hoping that this doesn`t have an effect on her work. Yes, i have noticed changes in her- hormones are going 10 to the dozen- one minute a happy bunny and the next crying her eyes out, I wish i could do more for her.

June, Thank you, we are having a girlie day tomorrow- i am taking her shopping, then for lunch and she would like to go the cinema. Jess, The school Nurse gave them a talk just before Christmas about 'Growing Up', she was a little upset about some of the things they talked about, so i had a chat with her myself and she seemed a lot happier. Thanks for you message.
