[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a kid like this and my parents were busy and it was a case of benign neglect. I asked them to send me to boarding school because I wanted more challenge at school than I was getting. They didn't take it seriously. I wanted more attention and someone to talk to. I was consumed with my social life and in high school, by socual life and dating. I quit the sport I was good at. I had no plans or goals. My parents could have made a huge difference if they had talked to me and spent time with me and if they had given me rules and limits. I wanted them. [/quote]
+1. But some on here are dismissing the parents responsibility which is nuts. [/quote]

I was also a kid like OP describes.

By the time my parents got involved, I was too far gone. As one of 4 kids, I needed more than they had the time and space to give.

OP, it’s good you’re realizing all that going on with your kid at 13. You have time to help her; she is young and can change.[/quote]
