[quote=Anonymous]OP, I also have a daughter with several life threatening allergies.   Around 8 she kind of realized the social implications of her allergies. She would never be a "normal" kid. There would never be an outing with friends, a party, a date, etc that she could go to without drawing attention to the fact she was different. She was pretty down about it and kind of holed herself up.

I also get the tendency to be over protective.  You can't help if after you've seen your child whisked away in an ambulance because she was exposed to an allergen.  But, you have to let them have some freedom. She can walk to the bus stop by herself, she can be responsible with turning in things, you don't need to check in on her at school, etc.

As for the "not Sharing values" thing, it doesn't sound like she's doing anything wrong.  She might be dealing with some depression or anxiety or just not feeling totally happy.   Maybe try talking to her about how she's feeling instead of thinking she's just a brat. [/quote]
