Please Help Me. My sister is going mad?!
Question: My younger sister has been suffering a bit at school, with people saying things to her about the way she looks, etc, just the typical teenage girl stuff. We have had major problems in the family, I was an alcoholic, my younger brother's been smoking weed, and there's been many arguments and fights. My sister is quiet and contemplative.
However, she came home from school yesterday and started talking to me for ages about the girls at her school, what they were like, etc, and bursting into tears. her words were often hard to decipher, and she kept repeating herself. She will often start a sentance and then just trail off. She was complaining her eyes keep hurting from light.
Today she was worse, mum let her have the day off of school, and she was talking about giving some really old kids books for her friends 14th Bday. She made something for her eyes out of paper and was scoring it with glue and a protractor and going on about textures and light all the time, and also ripped the leg

i really want to help but i dont know if i can give you the best answers. i think your sisters situation is definitly something to worry about. your her big sister, she definitly trusts you and is confiding in you. start spending some time with her and just get to know whats going on in her life because it seems like all this is pretty sudden. dont pressure her too much because you dont want her to back away and loose your trust in her. if it gets out of your hands, you need to seek professional help for her. she may not react well to it, but the honest truth is that you need to do whats best for your sister! good luck!
Take her to a Dr.
Simply put this girl needs serious help.
on the off chance that you aren't just making that up, get her some help. see a psychiatric professional about her if you think she needs help.
school conseler (spell check)
therapist?
try to do something
as an older sister, its up to you to help your sister in her time of need
good luk!
o and if things get dicey, call the mental institutions (jking)
=P
well you seem to be trailing off also she must get this from you...anyways, Please I urge you to send her to a therapist before going back to school !!
Sounds like she definitely has a problem of some sort. Get her to a Dr. to rule out anything physical and get her to a psychiatrist to get a diagnosis. There are all kinds of meds that can help. Good luck. You're a good sis to worry about her.
take her to phsychiatrist
she needs to be evaluated by mental health professionals. this is the only way to get her the help that she needs.
this is a serious matter take her to a doctor consulte a teacher they will no what to do . I wish i now more what to do
Sounds like shes just acting out for some attention at home. You say your brothers been doing pot, and you were an alcoholic? Well maybe this is her way of acting out to get some wanted attention, since most of it seems to have been aimed you two (yourself and your brother). I've done things similar to this when I was younger but not to this extent. I wouldn't really be to concerned if I was you, and would just let it run its course. She'll straighten her self out in a few days. If things keep up, take her to a shrink and get her on some anti depressants.
If this isn't in any way her normal behavior I would take her to a doctor asap. Maybe call her school counselor and see if her teachers have noticed any change in her behavior prior to this or if anything has happened to her at school that you might not know about. If nothing else, the counselor may be able to recommend therapist or child psychologist who would be able to evaluate her.
tell your mom she needs to go to the hospital,,, just because shes young don't mean she cant be having a break down , you can only push some one so much before they lose it , look at all these kids that take fire arms to school and kill people,,, and no one took them seriously, tell mom to take her to the er now don't wait until she hurts her self, or others go say something NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
counselor or therapist.
strongly recommend seeing a doctor, maybe meds...GET HER HELP!!!
Hunn all I would have to say is just pull her aside and talk to her even if you don't wanna listen or just send her to theraphy. Trust me though Theraphy works my mom sent me to theraphy because I was having the same problem.
Your parents need to take her to your family doctor immediately. Whatever she is going through it's hurting her and she needs more help than just staying home from school for the day. You're a good sister for wanting to look after your sister but please remember that you are just a kid yourself with your own problems and it your parent's job, not yours to take care of her.
