Hi
I'm relatively new here so please bear with me, our lovely DD is nearly 16 and has had a terrible time at high school and thank goodness there are only a few months left then onto 6th form college away from the bullies and nasty bitches who have bullied her throughout. However DD is so very low and this week we have found it a struggle to get her to go into school, yes she has gone in but mainly in year leader room, and yesterday teacher rang me to say she was actually worried about her and that we should keep a close eye on her this weekend, as she asked her on scale of 1-10 where she would put herself and she said 1 OMG!, also her friends don't understand that DD is low and state things like no such thing as depression and you just feel sorry for yourself, yes teens its all about me, me, me, however DD has had to cope with so much in her teen years, 3 bereavements and bullying to boot!, and school were more than useless, and recently found out after a meeting with principal that none of the bullying issues have been recorded, and also the old year head as left under a cloud! says everything. I feel awful for DD as today she had planned to meetup with an old friend however that friend as changed plans and no longer meeting up,so now DD is just staying in all weekend, though I'm taking her to pictures tomorrow. What can I do other than be there and give her cuddles and say we love her. She did have a brief boyfriend, for a month,but they cooled it, (too much GCSE year for boyfriends) and I believe he is in her friendship group!, which adds to everything, I really feel my heart is breaking so much for her, and also she announced she doesn't want to do anything for her 16th now, as anyway her friends won't want to come along anyway!. Dr appointment for her on Monday. I so wish I could magic the next few months away and see her happy and smiling. I just want her to be happy and be out and about not sitting in her room day in day out, and watching social media and feeling down, we have said to stop watching FB and SC etc as it is not real. Apologies if I have gone on a little, as new on here, would love to hear from any other mums who have similar experiences or have teenagers.
