hello and thank you for your post on e health forum. from the history it seems that the teenaged girl in question probably has a behavioral disorder of childhood as a result of the familial situation and stresses. but for proper assessment a examination and psychological assessment by a psychiatrist will be very helpful i hope this helps
what would cause a 15 year old girl to skip school excessively (started this year - sophomore in hs) not turn in any work and now start shoplifting? drugs don't seem to be involved nor alcohol. parents arent married mom has custody but dad and stepmom have regular visitations. father had problems in his adolescence with school but not sure of the severity. both parents are good people for the most part they live in nice neighborhoods provide everything she needs - she has very good family units on both sides mother's especially. they've all tried bribes threats everything -and nothing is working; its only getting worse. she is moody at times but nothing considered abnormal. please help!
