hi i am new to this web sites, but i could really use some advice. see i have a 11 yr old daughter and i think that she is very depress. some of the things she does and say really scare me and i dont know where to turn. let me explain. when she was 10, she was with some friends and her friends had drugs and my daughter was going to try it but they got caught, and she has stolen and she lies so bad that i dont when she is telling me the truth, and i get her to watch her younger sister for a hour and there is aways problems, and when my 6 yr old daughter has a friend over my 11 yr old wants to play with them. i sit down with my 11 yr old and try to talk to her but i know what im saying is going in one ear and out the other, see the way it works for her is as long as she gets her way then everything is fine but my god if it is not her way all hell hits the fan. my husband and i dont know what else to do, see i think that she wont open up to us because she is scared that she will get in trouble, see if we found something out about her from someone else and we ask her about it she will lie and so we will ground her but we have ground her so often that if does bother her any more. every once a a while she will say i wish i was dead or i hate my life. and i will sit down with her and ask her why she would say that, but she says i dont know and anytime she gets in trouble she will say to me im sorry and i love you. if anyone out there has any advice for me, i would love to hear form you. i dont know maybe it is just me being a over protected mom. but i dont know what else to do.
