Concerned about my daughter?

[Eryss]

My 17 year old daughter deleted her facebook and her twitter. She cleared out her phone contacts and only talks to/texts family. If a friend texts her, she won't text back. I asked her why and she said "I need to start early so I don't feel bad later." I didn't know what that meant and I was confused but she wouldn't tell me what she meant because she said I'd get mad.
I talked to her father and he's extremely worried because this is unlike her. She's quiet and doesn't talk much but we thought she loved facebook. She told us that no one talked to her and every time she tried to start a conversation they'd log off and we believe her. She's always been the weird kid at school who can't make friends. The friends she makes turn on her and embarrass her in front of everyone.
She told me she doesn't need friends because they'll distract her from her school work. I asked if she could talk to her friends and still get stuff done and she said "No, no, no Mommy, that won't work."
Sometimes we have conversations about school and how she's doing, she's usually doing great and getting wonderful grades. And I'll ask her everyday how school went, she'll say it went fine, then she goes and does her homework. I went to tell her to come down for dinner and I saw her on the bed with her books and papers around her and she was just crying. She was biting down on her arm so she wouldn't make noise/sob. I asked her later if everything was alright and she smiled and said yeah so I told her I saw her crying and she said she dropped one of her books on her hand.
One of her teachers called and said that our daughter may be a cutter so I went to her bathroom to look for any loose blades. I saw a lot of cover-up and neosporin under her cabinet along with small washcloths that she never uses and two band-aids. Her razor was still in her shower intact. I looked in her room and didn't find anything but I have seen a little green bag in her backpack that she never touches. I asked her about it and she said it was empty so I said I'd throw it away for her and she said "I'll throw it away...I'm old enough to throw away my own stuff, Mom."

What's wrong with my baby girl? I want to help her but she always tells me and her dad that every thing's fine even though we know it's not. Please help.

Get her to homeschooling or a therapist

I would recommend taking her to a therapist. She seems to be lonley and having a hard time with making friends

She sounds seriously depressed, like something's going on at school. Someone was probably cyber bullying her and she no longer feels safe. The fact that she said, "I need to start early so I don't feel bad later" makes me think that she's contemplating suicide-or that she's already decided that she is going to commit suicide. What you need to do is talk to her and ask her what she wants to do. Offer her the option of going to another school, one that can take better care of her than her current school. Also, make sure you get her to TALK to some one. She needs some one to care. Help her.

Definitely sounds like a major problem. Pulling away like that can be a sign if bulling. I dont know your personal preferences but seeking professional help could ne helpful here. Sometimes opening up to parents is hard and shameful. Its better to get help now so it dosent develop into another problem further down the road..which it sounds like thats something your already leery of with the cutting. If ahe is in fact cutting i recommended help asap...self mutilating is a terrible sign and a cry for help. Good luck i truly hope for the best for you and your daughter

She might be a cutter, she might not be. as for facebook, I don't blame her; what's the point if no one wants to talk to you? I don't see anything wrong with being that kid with no friends. she's obviously going through a tough time right now, highschool can do that to you.
Just let her know that you'll always be there for her and that she will always have your support no matter what she does. She might not want to tell you now, but in time it will come out.
Time, the healer of all wounds.

This is coming from a teen girl who has and is still going through the same thing ,She's a teen she wants to change Maybe she wants to become scene/emo thats what happend to me cause i got tired of people walking all over me and treating me bad. the best thing you can do is leave her be let her live her life . let her take care of her problems the way she wants to take care of them
