What is wrong with my daughter?
I'm using my friend's daughter's account.
Now, my daughter is 14. She has recently been more needy she always has been a little bit but this time she is really Clingy and not like herself. She has ADHD predominantly inattentive but she does do well in school and topped 10 in her class! So yeah, shes been getting overly anxious these past few months, and this has made her a little insomnic. always wanting a hug, always having the need to feel secured. Well, that is whenever i'm home. One time, one of the relatives told her off, she went running to her room crying, and then biting herself till she bled. This breaks my heart, whats wrong?

Well for 1 your relative had no right to tell her off,but there is something wrong with her maybe she is just very emotional and fills the need to be with her mom,or
maybe shes being bullyed at school or she could fill uncomfortable with her class if she doesn't get a good grade.i suggest maybe getting her into a therapist to help her open up and fill alot better.

You need to give your child that big long meaningful hug she's seeking. Hopefully it melts away her fears, and allows her the freedom to tell you the root of her problem.
If there is something she wants to tell you, ask her if she wants to go somewhere.
Take her where she wants to go.
It could be something you don't want to hear.
Take what ever she gives you in stride and do not react right away.
Allow her the space to vent and be comfortable.
Nothing matters only her.
Only think of her.
If there are charges to be pressed, you press them...
Good Luck...

It is possible that your daughter has experienced some sort of sexual attack or has been bullied at school. She feels ashamed and has told nobody. This is speculation, of course. You may find it difficult for her to tell you anything.. Questioning needs to be careful and sensitive. Ask the authorities at her school what you should do to help her. She is confused and insecure.

Well I'm a 14 year old to and what she doing sounds like the result of like sexual abuse by someone? She's clingy to you cause she knows she can trust you ...my friend was sexual abused and raped at school and that's how she would act to and everytime we walked down the school halls she would like cling to my arm I guess she just felt save being close to someone she trusts but you should ask your daughter
