[quote=Anonymous]Might be depression too. Depression can impact appetite. Often in teens depression presents a little differently as they may stay social with peers and keep up appearances as part of low self-worth. Has she always been this way? If so ADD might be a possibility or it could just be her personality. Not all kids are over achievers and highly motivated to excel. She may also be getting to the age where she doesn't want to do all those activities but doesn't want to let you down so she is telling you through her actions. She is focusing her energy on the aspects of life that are important to her right now (socializing and appearances). Could be anxiety too..the obsessive nature of it. [/quote]
