something is off - drug test her. [/quote]

Eh, I wouldn't go for a drug test just yet, but if her behavior continues I would consider getting professional help from a therapist. She will probably hate the idea so get someone experienced with adolescents and be prepared to meet with the therapist/another therapist yourself to get feedback on your parenting.

[b]Adolescence is tough, but it is also the age when mental health issues can start to pop up.[/quote][/b]

This is also the age when undiagnosed learning disorders and/or ADHD or ADD become too hard for the child to cover up/compensate.  They start to fail at things, are unfocused, feel different from peers, get anxious, etc.  [b]So a neuropsych eval can uncover issues[/b]. [/quote]

[b]Oh, look, the neuropsych poster! Open up your checkbook, OP, to the tune of about 5 grand.[/quote][/b]

Uh... I'm not "the neuropsych poster..."  I'm a new poster who posted some advice that some people might need. My DD had two neuropsychs over the years.  The first was covered by insurance (our copay was about $300).  The second one we paid for out of pocket ($2400).

Though would I pay $5000 to figure out what the heck was going on with my child?  Yes I would.  PP, you'd probably pay that for a sunroof on your new car, but you know, priorities.
