Aw. At that age, 14. I'm guessing 7th or 8th grade about? That's my age when I first SI'd. That's a huge emotional stage in teen's life. Well, for me it was. Everything was changing, I was going to highschool, things with boyfriends (does she have one, or into that 'liking boys' stage yet?) I wouldn't confront your daughter about it yet (unless the school said they would tell her) I was DEAD afraid if my parents knew. But they found out the summer after 8th grade going to 9th grade when I fessed up to my mother. I'm in 10th grade (16) now, haven't SI-d since about October and then it was only one cut.

But just talk to your daughter. Don't push her into telling you or pressure her. When she's ready to talk alot, she'll come out, trust me that's howalot of my friends and I were. But just ask her little questions if you already don't like "How was your day?" But I'm not saying don't worry about it because it can become serious. In 8th grade my best friend was about to commit suicide so she went to a local hospital-learning facility. Just keep an eye out for her, pay attention alot to her mood towards things.

Has your daughter gave up on things? How are her grades? Is her mood changing off and on often? Just keep an eye on those kinds of things.

If you need anything feel free to PM me anytime. I was in your daughter's position, and I've delt with my best friend's issues also, so I'll be here if you need anything!

Love,
Jessica
