Hello I'm new on the site and looking for a little advice to help my daughter. She's 12 and has always been a bright, bubbly popular girl interested in lots of things. I know she's heading toward the teenage years and hormones are running riot but i'm so worried about her. She is becoming quite withdrawn and really teary for no specific reason. She's staying up really late reading (despite me repeatedly turning off the light!) She doesn't want to go to school but says there is nothing happening there that is upsetting her. She started secondary school in September and although she's made a few friends that she talks about she hasn't wanted to invite anybody back home or arrange meet ups on the weekend. She's also a bit of a hypochondriac and constantly complaining of pains and issues (yet regularly bouncing around too!!)
It's probably a pre menstrual phase that will pass but it's so hard seeing her so upset......any advice would be gratefully received!!
