Just wondering how normal this is? Is it just a normal up, down, hormonal type teenager?
I don't think she's depressed overall. I think she takes things to heart and at 15yo has a tendency to blow things out of proportion. She's said it a few times and said it again this evening. She gets down either over school work or lack of good friends. Today she's upset because the group of girls she hangs around with are falling out with each other and she feels stuck in the middle. She says she's sick of the arguing.
I was trying to cheer her up saying she'd got some fun stuff happening this weekend, then just four days of school and then a nice holiday to look forward to. And then she says she doesn't know if she will still be alive by the next weekend.
At what point do you take it seriously? I'm 99.9% sure she doesn't.
Last weekend she was happy, we had a day out shopping and lunch which she enjoyed. Then during the week she's been planning her ComicCon costume so she's looking forward to that.
But I am worried what if she does something stupid in the heat of the moment?
