Aw, the scores could have been low. Maybe she's really HG+

Is this new behaviour? I went through something similar in high school but I think it had a lot to do with feeling socially isolated. I was just sick of being in a world full of people who were not on the same page as me. I was tired of being weird and different. I hated my life. I just kinda slogged my way through it all.

If your DD is with like minded peers, though, I wonder if something else is at the root of the behaviour. Could something have happened that you don't know about? Or maybe it's early tween hormones interacting with the hyper-sensitivity that comes with G?

I would just validate her feelings - support her right to have them - and just nurture her through it. No feelings are ever wrong. Just be there for her and listen. If she feels heard and understood, she'll be ok smile

(Also, if you spend enough time just listening rather than actively trying to solve it, she may elaborate further and tell you what you need to hear to understand... )
