My 12yrs old daughter was bullied beggining of school year. She felt alone and tried to deal with the circumstances of losing everyone she knew for about 3-4months until a group of gangs made her feel welcome, equal and accepted. Since then, my daughter Bella, have been acting out at school, with society and at home. She was punished when I discovered she was sexting, doing nudes and vaping. Also started to skip class. I pulled her out of school for about 2 .5 months and took all her privilieages away. She recently started on a new school for a new fresh start. In less than a month, Bella has managed to make friends that are always in trouble, 4 girls already want to beat her up and she continues to pursue the provocative photos to boys. She has made a label to herself where no good kids wants to be around her, and some of the gangs just either protect her or wants to hurt her. It’s been a battle every single day. She has been backer act before for 5 days while in the transition of moving schools and just this past Friday had another melt down in scratching her self, including her face and pulling hair and breaking things because one of the boys she liked was expelled from school from getting in a fight and putting out a gun. I don’t want to lose my daughter. I tried therapy but lost medical insurance. In only 2 days therapist suggested she may suffer from ODD. I’m scared, insecure, confused and alone. I want to gain my daughter back but don’t even know how . Please help me. I live in Orlando, FL.
Thanks a lot.
