My 15 year old daughter is at a mainstream school and has no friends. Her mental health is deteriorating and I’m very worried about her. Does anyone have any advice about how I can help her? I’ve found a few forums but there doesn’t seem to be anything that focuses on teen girls. She says she feels worthless and so needs to feel that someone her own age is interested in her and what she has to say.
Not sure if I can help but I suffered bad in school I was diagnosed major depression at your daughter's age am 26 now.i was verbally bulked and always in the outside of groups. I wasn't diagnosed until Sept this yr. It's not easy I don't have friend in typical sense in school I did for while was one girls I sat next to but we drifted apart I tend not class people as my best friends it's more people I talk too or know. No one that would be a true friend if I needed they wouldn't be ther but I was if they needed. I don't socialise now much. I have low self esteem I did have workbooks form therapist to work on this. Is there no one she's feels more comfortable approaching. I did read a reply thts said scouts maybe worth trying group or something she's into I went to army cadets again I did little interaction but my friend did go to.so hard this one as making friends isn't easy as is.
