is it just me or is the transformation she has taken on in just 3 months really concerning. looks wise?

Thanks :)

Answer 1

yea that is a little odd

Answer 2

It's really popular for teens to dress that way right now, unfortunately. They are also doing stupid things with make up. :/ I already gave my advice for the rest in another thread you had, so I won't bother typing it again.

Answer 3

maybe they are just dressing up for fun.

Answer 4

Wow...you have a lot going on. It would seem impossible for her not to have a lot of issues since losing her parents (regardless of their relationship). You should really get her into counseling. If money is an issue (when is money not an issue with 5 kids???) their are a lot of free/affordable services by organizations like Catholic Charities.

Answer 5

Waste of a beautiful face, I know that much. Sorry, this is so complicated, I couldn't even give advice that could help. Good luck hun.

Answer 6

Sometimes young teens go through a rebellious phase, that might be what's happening with her. It sounds like she is cutting herself for attention based on the fact that she took photos of herself doing it. She might also be dressing differently for attention..and it sounds like you have your hands full with all of the recent responsibility. Maybe you could try having a girl's night where you spend time with just her and go out somewhere together. Good luck.

Answer 7

Seems shes made some questionable friends...I don't know where you live but she seems to be imitating gang type symbols and mannerisms. This can end badly especially if she is naive to what the lifestyle truly is. Watch who she is hanging out with is all I can say. She is in a fragile state of mind with the whole parents situation and will be easily influenced if she feels these people are 'there for her". FYI-a teardrop symbolizes a persons sadness when in prison. which leads me to believe shes seen it someone shes been around, not good.
