[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD 16 dyed her hair pink. To be fair I never told her she couldn’t, but she went and did it. I don’t necessarily feel the need to punish her, it’s really not that big a deal, but I do find this worrying. Maybe I wouldn’t if it was just a streak or something but dyeing ALL your hair (which she did) is what I would deem a cry for help. However, she seems her normal cheerful self, but due to the hair choices I know that’s not the case. Or at least I suspect it’s not the case. I don’t know. Maybe I shouldn’t intervene? Thoughts?[/quote]

If we were talking about a petulant middle-school child, then this would not be so concerning.

But the girl in this instance is 16.  By that age, I expect a higher level of maturity; both on account of going behind my back as well as making poor choices of this nature.

Yes this does appear to be some sort of cry for help.  Hopefully you can find the right assistance to get this girl’s life back on track and her life in order.[/quote]

Good lord. I want to see the look on the therapist’s face when they hears that the main issue is pink hair.[/quote]

It’s a symptom. It’s never the only thing.[/quote]
