[quote=Anonymous]OP I am so sorry.  All I can tell you is that I have been there as a mom too.  I found out by checking my daughter's phone and then made her show me.  I was lucky to catch the first one and two years later, she is still okay.  The sad thing is that it is VERY common with girls ages 11-20. Many follow what other girls are doing (that is what mine did) and some unfortunately find it soothing and addicting.

She needs help, caring, love, understanding.  She needs the support of friends, family and school.  Make sure the school counselor is made aware.

Get to the bottom of it but don't harp on it immediately.  Take her away a few days.  Just you and her.  Pull her out of school and take off work. Tell her all the mistakes/regrets/embarrassing things you did in school.  Tell her how you overcame your hardest obstacles.  LOVE HER.   Is she being bullied?  Is she in the closet?  Is she too stressed with school?  Is there an underlying learning or mental disorder?  It could be minor, it could be major.

Do what you need to do.  Move her to a new school if needed.  Just let her know you will love her no matter what.  [/quote]
