Hi again.

Well I'm 18 and my thoughts on that is this: she is a teenager. Hormones are flying and erupting and juggling all throughout her entire body. The best thing for you as a mother is to just be optimistic with everything. Just have a good attitude and tone with what you say. Don't bug her too much 'cause that'll bother her. If you get into an easy conversation with her, then try and ease your way with trying to find out if people are still bullying her. If so, then just comfort her and let her know that she doesn't need them in her life. They're not going to take her anywhere in life. She's her own person who's still young and has so much to look forward on. She's merely wasting her time listening to jerks.

I understand the feeling of waiting for some sort of response.

I'm here for you. And her being your daughter initially gives you those maternal feelings of worrying and sadness. Especially if you don't know what to do. Just be calm you can't rush depression. It's a serious issue that can only be dealt with patience. Ease your way in to comfort her as best you can. Offer something here and there. Something she would like or appreciate. anything to you think would make her smile.

I'm here for you
