[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 717797, member: 11832"] Middle school is a really tough time for kids, all kids. I agree with the others in that I think your gd has been through quite a lot in her short life. I also agree that adoption therapy may be helpful. As far as her suicidal thinking goes, have they tried different anti-depressants on her? It can take awhile of trying different medications in order to find the one that works for a person. It sounds like she needs one. Do you as her grandmother take her periodically to do things with her? She undoubtedly feels like the odd person out in her family. You can make a difference by spending time with just her and talking to her. My grandmother made a huge difference in my life. It may also be helpful for your gd to be involved in something just for herself. A sport, a musical instrument, art, karate, volunteering at an animal shelter. Different things work for different kids. She needs a positive outlet for all that anger. [/QUOTE]
