Replies to 'Troubled Teens'

Hello. I am a mother of four children. Daughters 18,15,11 and son 7. My first daughter was a breeze. I had no crazy teenage daughter stuff to go through. My second daughter whom is 15 which I know every child is different and I really never expected it to go so easy with her. Well my dilemma right now is that my daughter has cut herself a couple of years ago one time. And just recently my neice has informed me and her father that she had did it again alot worst then she had last time. She was angry because she was grounded for a week (no friends, no calls and no computer) of course her lawyer mode kicked in and she had to defend on how stupid it was how stupid her parents were and how much she hated us. Well after all argumenting was done she was given a month groundment and that would be when we found out she cut herself again. We are now in the process of trying to find a doctor outside of this small town that I live in. Where I have spoke to other parents whom have tooken there children to doctors regarding the same issue and as some of the children whom have posted messages say just a couple of visits and it is ruled out that they are teenagers. Me and my daughter have had good communication and she tells me just about everything more than what I need to know sometimes and she reminds me of how hard it is to be a teenage girl. She knows that I am here for her. Any advice regarding the cutting would be helpful. I guess the topic of cutting has gotten so bad my daughter tells me about how many girls do it at school and how they show it off as if they have gotten a new tattoo.
