    There is no way I can speculate on whether or not your sister is being/has been abused. I am just presenting the possibility. Children who have been abused may suddenly display a shift in mood, for no apparent reason. Some children will begin throwing temper tantrums, while others will "shut down" and avoid talking to people altogether (or just the person who is abusing them). Some will be overly sensitive and cry easily, while others will engage in self-destructive behavior (cutting/drinking). All I wanted to say with the doctor portion of my post is that everything should be ruled out, including physical/sexual abuse. If the doctor notices bruises during his/her examination of your sister, that could be a warning sign. Of course, this doesn't take into account emotional abuse/bullying, which is why talking to your sister's teachers could be very helpful. Since you don't seem to know where this behavior is coming from, it's important to explore it from different angles and figure out how you can intervene (and agian, by "you," I mean your family, not just yourself)

    Dismissing this behavior as an effect of "hormones" would be premature. Not every 11-year-old girl acts out like this - in fact, many do not. I wouldn't say it's "normal" for ANYONE to stab someone with a pencil, regardless of their age. If you conclude this is something you have to "wait out," then you could be ignoring an underlying problem, with abuse and bullying being only two of those potential problems. So if you're asking whether or not I agree with that poster, the answer is "no." I don't believe it would be responsible on your part or your family's part to shrug this behavior off and see it as a "normal" part of child development that can't (or shouldn't) be addressed.

    About me
    Hi there!

    I'm Adam (Adam the Fish, formerly Rachael98), and I like chocolate.

    Also, I'm a Live Help Operator (since 08/10/12) here as well as being an Article Editor, a member of the Social Networking Team and a Forum Moderator for the Why Me? forum.
    I've now been a member of TeenHelp for two years - it doesn't sound much when others have been around since around when I was born, but it's a fair milestone for me!

    I've just finished school - looking forward to Sixth Form! - and I'm always around to talk. If you ever want a chat, to rant or someone to talk to, send me a visitor or private message. I always get back to them pretty quickly.

    I realise that I'm incredibly bad at writing informative "About Me"s, so if you ever have any questions about what I'm going on about, ask me. I only bite if I'm incredibly hungry.

    ~Adam

  • Interests
    Hobbies
    Internet-ing.
    Talking to people!
    Making websites.

    Being a generally helpful-ish person. Ish.
    Music
    Personally, I sing...or did, until puberty started messing around with my voice. Now I have half-sing, and half-croak (RSCM VfL Red Level, Alto) and play:
    Piano (ABRSM G8)
    [Any other keyboard-related instrument]
    Ukulele
    Recorder
    Most things.

    I like many styles!
    I enjoy Tim Minchin and Imagine Dragons among many artists.
    Movies
    Comedy, generally.

    Johnny English is great, and Mrs. Doubtfire is also a must.
    I enjoyed The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel a lot, too.
    My Hunger Games obsession is also manifested in film form!

    Finally, Donnie Darko. Who doesn't like psychology thrillers?
    Television
    Sherlock.

    I dislike television (mostly).

    The most useful thing on there is BBC News.
    Although I admit A Touch of Frost was excellent.
    OK, and Miranda. And HIGNFY. And Watchdog. Plus TBBT. And QI. And New Tricks. But other than that...
    Games
    The Sims 3 and SimCity. But OpenTTD is better. Also looking forward to TS4, if my poor old laptop is going to be up to it.
    ^^^ See, technology goes first.
    Monopoly.
    And Contraband - quite an old game, but it involves cheating, lying and deception, so it's fun.

    To family and friends, I'm notoriously bad at games; if there's a winner, and therefore a loser, I'm always the latter.
    Books
    Harry Potter.
    CHERUB/Henderson's Boys.
    Hunger Games.
    Divergent/Insurgent.

    I might also find some more adult books at some point which I like as much as Harry Potter.
    I do like Minette Walters a lot.
    Sports
    Swimming.
    Cycling.
    Walking to school.

    'tis it.
    Heroes
    Everyone at TeenHelp is so brave, caring and brilliant, it's the most fantastic place to be.
    Favorite quotes
    "Everything will be alright in the end; if everything is not yet alright, then it is not yet the end" --The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

    "The purpose of life is a life of purpose" --Robert Byrne

    "Join the Light Side - Dark Side's too Mainstream!" --My Friend

    "The education system is wrong, generally. The only things we are taught are to pass exams. Especially in science. It's literally everything we are, but we don't understand the function of it and aren't taught it, except for in a hypothetical situation to get a few marks. 'I should remember to learn things by heart and not to think for myself.'" --My friend again.

    "I don't care what you think, or what other people do. I believe what I want and I don't care if you don't believe the same. I'm probably not right, but neither is anyone else." --That friend. Again.

    "Just because you find that life's not fair,
    Doesn't mean you just have to grin and bear it,
    If you always take it on the chin and bear it,
    Nothing will change" --Tim Minchin (Naughty - Matilda the Musical)

    "Close enough" --The Interwebs

    "can see why you help people...I LOVE YOU ADAM THANK YOU SO MUCH" --An actual person who I actually know and actually really helped. :D

    "You tell me exactly what you want, and I will very carefully explain to you why it cannot be.' --Simeon, GTA V

    "The people who mind do not matter; the people who matter do not mind"
    Other interests
    Generally being sarcastic and cynical.
    I try not to bring too much of that online, though. Because doing Live Help is the best thing ever.
    Also, I'm interested in Psychology. I wish my school would teach it...

Well...not really my target, but my friend Ellie has decided that I have to have a girlfriend by the time I'm 16, which gives me exactly 1 year and 1 month from today.

Perhaps not the most exciting item I'll ever have on my list, but something I'd like to work towards nevertheless.

Because I should take up potential income when there are other people who probably actually need it more than I do!
(because I'm a horrible person. Deal with it...)



Like every piss-poor person in the country doesn't want one.
