Hello and Welcome

I have the same problem with my two girls....except they won't take their meds.

Your daughter could be experiencing that brat of an aunt...you know which one. Both my girls are extremely moody around that time.

I'm here for ya

Thanks for the reply. Yes i know exactly what you mean about that brat of an aunt and actually she seems to be alot better at that time. My daughter finds it very hard to make friend and keep them for long. At 12 she needs her friends and I am starting to get a little sad that she is unable to find and keep them. I have tried explaining to her that she will be fine and make new friends soon, but it is really upsetting to see her cry when she comes home from school and has had no-one to play with or talk to during break and lunch.

My girls are great at making friends...however keeping them is another story...espeically my 15. She is very outspoken and has to be the centre of attention...for some of her friends this creates competetion(SP). Then of course the cattiness starts.

If you feels comfortable enough with DS. Why not get her an account here...so that she can meet other girls with the same issues and then she can make online friends, which can be totally awesome. Thats what I've done and I've met ppl around the world. And last October I went to Chicago to meet one of my DS friends...It was frickin awesome.

Yep that sounds just like my daughter she can make friends really easily but a few months later she loses them because she is to outspoken and presumes that she is always right and knows everything. Thanks for the suggestion of putting her on DS and trying to find friends that way, I well do that when she gets back from camp next week. We live in New Zealand in the country so its a bit hard for her to have friends that she can just walk home with or go any do things with as we live 30 mins from town.

Oh my, I think my daughter has a twin!!! LOL

If you get your daugther an account here, she will be among other safe adults who can help her.

ok so i am just about 14 and i was recently diagnosed with adhd but always felt different from others my whole life. Just wanted to ask how your daughter is doing in school. cause one thing i know from experience is that when u hvae adhd school can be frustrating and challenging which sometimes causes me to become moody and take my frustration out on others, Just a suggestion, maybe you should ask her about her school work because i know that every time i become behind cause it takes me longer to finish things than others, i become extremely stressed and moody.

Thanks for your comment Malisha. We are always asking our daughter how school is and how she is getting on. We are also in touch with her teachers at least once a week to make sure things are going ok. She does make friends but its the keeping of them that is difficult for her. We have talked to her about the way she acts sometimes and she says that she understands but we know that she is only saying this so we wont go to school. As a teenager you must know what its like if your parents turn up at school. Some find it embarassing.
