Off Topic/ Unruly teenager displaying odd behaviors

WWSMD's picture

My friend has a 15 year old daughter. This girl is a tyrant. She and her brother and sister are staying with me while her parents are taking care of family matters. This young girl tells me how she is bullied at school. All I see is her being a big bully. Not wanting her younger sister to look at her or touch her. She says she hates her younger sister and says if they were left alone together one of them would end up dead. Every time we are watching television she laughs when someone gets injured or dies. She says she is obsessed with death and even joked about doing a massacre some day but said she was just joking. She hates her stepdad and says she would not shed a tear if he died and that when he married her mom she contemplated suicide. She has cuts all over her arms and legs. Her parents seem like they just don't want to deal with her. Her mom even considered shipping her off to her dad's house but she said if they sent her there she would just run away. I offered to pay for her to get some counseling but she says if she goes to a therapist she will just sit there and not say anything. How do I help this girl? I would hate for her to do something to herself or someone else some day and know I knew her and could have done something.

She sounds very disturbed and in alot of pain. Sometimes hurt people hurt themselves, other times they hurt others.

If you want to be anonymous to save your friendship - file when school starts, if you file now clearly they will know its you since you just offered a therapist ...

IF you think the child can wait that long.
