My youngest dd14 was in bits this week, sobbing, overwhelmed by school, doesn’t want to see anyone, says she feels she will fail in life and never be happy (she is being supported by school counsellor).
One of the things she says is friends are all fake nowadays. Am interested in this because my eldest went through a turbulent time at this age too. She also said the same thing, no close friends as everyone is ‘fake’.
In this age of Instagram have we destroyed proper friendships? Is this an underlying theme with the epidemic of poor adolescent mental health? Or is it just my two girls saying this?
I just don’t remember ever feeling that as a child (am old though at 46) was I unusual? Has it always been like this.
Thoughts please.....
