I am 14 at secondary school and a girl in my class has been off school recently.
My friends and i have found out that she smokes daily. we also thought she had an eating disorder as she never used ot eat, especially when she was more unpopular. Now, she eats little, and when she does eat, she eats high fat, high sugar, high salt foods. such as crisps, chocolate etc.
I think she has an unstable relationship with her parents as many people have commented that when being with her parents, they were rude and often insulted each other causing this girl to get embaressed.
We’ve done smoking in Biology and she follows signs of an addict smoker, she is always crushing or destroyign something and gets very restless.
She attention seeks because I don;t think she gets enough attention at home. she brings her cigarettes to school in her bag, i think she secretly wants people to find them so that she will get some form of attention, of which she is so deprived.
She also will never tie back her long hair, whether it be in PE or an experiment at school using eg a bunsen burner. causing her to get in trouble with teachers. Personally, i tihnk she likes to hide behind her hair.
She gets emabressed easily and is always in trouble with the teachers at school, again, i tihnk she wants soem form of attention. She has an older sister, who we think is providing her with the cigarettes, who also smokes. In biology, we also did heart rate and hers was so fast, she would not tell anyone, but my friend was the one measuring her heart rate and she said it was way above average.
she is quite clever, especially in maths.
This girl, she is skinny, drinks at least 500ml of coke a day and im worried that all of these factors combined will result in her early death.
She finds it hard to open up and i only wish i could help her more, what should i do ?
Her being absent lately has really made me think.
Please, tell me something i can do?
Maybe get her to see a school counciller ?
