Warriors I Need Your Help!

There are millions of starving children in this world of ours, and many millions more displaced and without not only food, but a home or dignity.

Every day thousands of babies are born worldwide with either a shortage of limbs, downs syndrome, cleft palates and lips, and a multitude of other disfigurations.

Thousands of people every hour suffer the indignity and pain of being either beaten, raped, robbed, shot, or even killed.

Loved one's, including babies, are taken from their grief stricken families every hour as a result of horrific accidents and crashes.

Earthquakes, plane disasters, mass shootings, and a whole lot more tears the very soul out of those left behind to struggle on.

Cancers and other terrible suffering cause the deaths of many thousands every day, in many instances taking children and young adults who have barely graced this planet.

Do you even contemplate the abject misery of millions of folks lives, through a multitude of troubles and traumas.

It kind of puts things in perspective, doesn't it. You don't need our help and neither does your daughter. She needs YOU to put your arms reassuringly around her, as dads do, and tell her that everything will be alright. You say you want to show your daughter that people can do amazing things. Well they can do with love.

Dude, I know - Thanks for considering an input - I laready shared the vid above and hopefully it moves her the same way it did me (I am actually crying)..

Your response is really welcomed
Thank you
Dave

That's a common problem, especially with teens. I ran into that wall when I was a kid.

Have you told her that other people only have as much power over her as she gives them? ...that what other people think is their problem, not hers? ...that life is cause and effect, and the effect of giving other people's thoughts too much weight is that it's dead weight that will only slow her down?

Have you told her that life is opportunity, and it's up to her what she does with it?

With the greatest respect, there are many much more appropriate forums for your situation than the main board of an IM forum. And also plenty of advice and helplines if it's really that bad.

She's 13 - up one minute and down the next is normal at that age. Big dreams of one thing - and then another. Excited about something and then dumping on herself five minutes later. Problem these days is there are too many people on social media willing to criticize or agree when your daughter posts something bad about herself. You don't want that to be her sounding board - so provide a better one.

You can encourage her creative side - and be a balance for a home where perhaps more mundane day-to-day things take priority.

You mention you live close. Best thing you can do - spend the weekend with her, do something fun so she's relaxed and willing to talk about her dreams and frustrations. Help her look outside herself and compliment her best traits and her successes.

Good luck - anyone with a 13 yr old needs it!
