[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the parent of a teen girl with serious mental health issues, some of which are undoubtedly genetic and some of which are the result of the ongoing trauma inflicted by abusive peers in person and online. I am really appalled that anyone would use the term "attention whoring" to describe young women who are asking for help and/or speaking about their struggles. [/quote] Yes. Really. In fact I carry some guilt because once we realized how severe her anxiety was I researched more into it and she'd been showing signs since childhood. I had been writing it off as phases etc but tied together in a string clearly showed the progression. I am also anti meds and had to own up to my prejudice to meds so that we could help her. Really to mock our children is simply cruel and thoughtless.[/quote]
