she used to be so happy and laughing and dancing around the house and just a normal tiny girl and plays with her dolls and makes up little princess stories. now she’s so quite, doesnt move an inch and never really speaks anymore. shes like a completely different little girl…shes doing bad in school and does not pay attention during class like she used to and at recess she just sits against the school building and doesnt play. she is a goregous little girl and “was” very outgoing. she does allstar cheer and dance and she cares about practice, when she is at practice that is when she zones out and tumbles her little butt away and she just seems relieved to be there and she never wants to leave but once she has to leave shes right back to being the sad little girl no one knows anymore. i ask her if something is bothering her and the look she gives me just breaks my heart, its like she wants to tell me something so bad but she just cant let it out her mouth. and i will state baby whats wrong and she’ll cry and just hold on to me and still never say a word then i will rock her to sleep and she will sleep for hours as if she doesnt sleep when shes at home.i asked her parents..well i stated her mother and her new step father have they seen anything differnt in her like i am seeing and her mom just dont state much all she will state is ” oh shes fine dont worry about her” then she walks away but the step dad glares at me and dont state anything and just goes into the room and dont come out until i leave. so i asked her is she scared to be home for any reason and she didnt state anything,she just looked at me once again with that sad face. I told her to draw me a picture and she did, she drew her home and she blacked out her bedroom window, like she colored only her window totally black and no other ones and i asked her why was her window colored back and she just shrugged her sholders and put her head done and didnt want to color anymore. i dont know what to do.. she’s my baby girl and i hate seeing her like this…its been about 2 mouths with this new behavior. what in the world do you think is going on with her?
Answer:
You’re a mini child psychologist. OBVIOUSLY it is something with her stepdad and her room being the dark room of evil. Speak to a school nurse, counsellor or social worker on her behalf. They have the ability to get to the bottom of it. Where is your Mother… who would be there for her if her Mom is too blind to see that she's having a hard time in her family life? Let her know that many mean people lie and that you'd never let anyone, any man or anything injured her no matter even if they promised to injured her or her Mom. You need to watch some Tyler Perry movies. Hint. Hint.
Answer:
it sounds like someone is hurting her one way or another get her to trust you tell her you want let anyone ever injured her again just tell you what has happened to you and you will make sure she’s safe report it to d.s.s. if something has happened if you know she’s being injured and do not say anything you are as guilty
Answer:
did she have any pets or toys or important things taken away from her?
is it possible she's a victim of abuse?
parent neglect?
the stepdad seems suspicious.
how old are you? if you're a kid or under adult age, you should speak to a trustworthy adult about it.
i'd speak to the dance teacher about it.
Answer:
The parents seem suspicous to me.
It sounds like her parents don't care.
Take her to a doctor.
She may be sick and not feeling well.
Good Luck!
Answer:
yes obviously something wrong with the room or somthing that happened inthe room.
my suspicions:
dad beat her
father touched her :O
Answer:
I think her parents might be abusing her.
Answer:
wow kinda sounds like they’ve family problems or the step father is raping and beating her or somethingg.get help
Answer:
could have a love interest depending on her age… maybe she got turned down, or the guy she likes is with someone else…. or she could be lesbian and be going through a weird time determining why she feels the way she does when most girls like guys she likes those girls. idk there's a lot of things that could be going on in her mind. as kids get older they begin to change and might become somewhat depressed
Answer:
Try playing dolls with her, I heard somewhere that some children will act certain things out through dolls. The picture, something probably happened in that room and maybe she couldn't see. step father seems very suspicious. I advocate, if your still in school, go to a teacher. If not than go to a phsiciatrist, because they have the ability to help with a second thought and reasure you things or fine or take a few steps forward to help.
Answer:
looks to me like she doesnt like the new change in the family (step dad). the mother (im sorry) doesnt seem to give her the attention she needs. or it could be something at school. maybe kids arnt being nice to her. What does cheerleading have where she has the ability to be happy thats not int he rest of the world. tell her youll be there for her no matter what. that she has the ability to tell you anything she can trust you.you could try involving yourself in her life? some people would think its not your problem, but i have a little niece who i raised and i love her like my own. and if the same think were to happen to her i would be as heartbroken. so i think some how this problem needs to be solved an fast. before she gets more depressed. im heartbroken to hear this. i wish you luck
Answer:
You know what's going on. Now what are you going to do about it?
Because you're obviously going to have to be the one who does something. Her stepfather's abusing her, and her mom is willing to let it go on just so she has a man around the home (and in her bed). So it's up to you.
Answer:
How old is your cousin? There are lots of things that could be wrong, but I don't know how old she’s and what's really applicable. However, it sounds like some sort of sexual abuse in my thought. My mom's ideal friend found out her husband was sexually abusing their 3 year old daughter last year, and you don't even want to know the details of that. The step dad sounds suspicious, but you can't really jump to conclusions. If you’re really concerned, I would spend as much time as humanly possible with her and let her know you’re “safe”. Let her know that she can trust you and speak to you about ANYTHING. While you are with her, try to comfort her and build up her self esteem. How long has the step father been in the picture?
