Please, your advice...
My daughter is 15. She is not the kind of teenager to throw strops or argue back. She is very inward, doesn't express her feelings, to me anyhow. In the last year I have found out she has self harmed, that she has problems with self image, weight etc. She will skip lunch at school, I have found it in her bin at home. And so on and the only reason I know all this is largely down to detective work! We have had chats although I mostly do the talking as she won't. Obviously this has left me not trusting her, she lies. So then I don't know how much freedom I should give her as I don't know whether she is telling me the truth. So now she wants to meet her friend on Sunday, she has gcses at the mo and I'm inclined to say no, not really because of study because she has a lot of study days at school but more so because the friend although the same age, is drinking and seeing boys etc and I think my daughter is lying to me about what they will really do this Sunday so what do I do because if I stop her going out she will be all down which because of past issues I worry but then I worry she is lying to me. I know she is messaging some strange boy on her ipod and I suspect she is meeting him?? I can't remember what I did at 15. Need some advice on what to expect and what I should allow/not allow??
