m 16 and so me and my friends have just finished our gcses which everyone was stressin over anyway, there's a girl in my class at school who's had a tough time time this year with bullies etc and recently we all found out her dad died of cancer which came as a huge shock as no-one even knew he had it!. thing is , this girl is still coming into school laughing and joking, she's a bit of a class clown and really popular but has had trouble this year as bi*chy girls have been jelous of her but she never gets upset and just laughs it off when ever anyone tries to help her!. i really want her to open up though cos i know she needs it, she'd also struggled with ocd this year and for a while was like washing her hands with bleach, a brillo pad and boiling wate r(her sister walked in on her and told us) - she won't admit she has ocd to anyone and just laughs it off but it's fairly obvious to everyone!. i know she's not close to her family and doesn't get on with her mum, she has a hard time opening up to people and i know the usual
'you know you can come and talk to me, i'm here for you' wont get me very far
i'm worried about her! she keeps putting on this not bothered act!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
She is saying nothing because this is her way of dealing with it!. As far as she is concerned no-body really knows about her ocd or the death of her dad, so when she is at school she can pretent it's not really happening, I guess it must feel like her escapism!.!.!.!.!.!.!.

Have you spoken to her sister about it!? Could there be an opportunity to get in that way, or maybe a teacher that she gets on well with!?

You are being very understanding and supportive to this girl, have you thought about inviting her out with a group of friends to get to know about her!?

Good luck, i'm sure you are doing as much as you possibily can

she is going through a hard time and sometimes there's people like that but the only thing you could do is just try to get close to her and just be there for her and when you show her that your a true friend with time she will open up to you!. good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

I think you should make your teacher aware of the facts as she could been in quite serious trouble, washing her hands in bleach and brillo pads etc is pretty bad stuff!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
