The behavior speaks to something deeper? At her age, a cry for attention in some way?

I know as a child (and teenager), I was so hungry for attention I would use most any means possible, even risking the effect of negative ones. On a subconscious level, I believe I knew the risk was there, but missed calculating the outcomes. My needs outweighed the risk and I wouldn't or couldn't reckon a far reaching outcome. JME
