she is already in a mental support place, along with weekly meetings,
but she tell me she is going crazy and is makin her more suicidal
I don't know... how can I help her.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
It sounds like your sister may have some mental health issues (suicidal, cutting, self medicating, promiscuous behavior, etc). Having the parental supervision she has is good for her, no matter how much she claims it pains her. It would be best for her to see a counselor, therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist.
There is a lot of information on the web about cutting, suicidal tendencies, and experimenting with drugs.
The Mayo Clinic has a great amount of information about self-injury or cutting. You can go there to find out some more information http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/self-in...
As for suicidal thoughts or attempts, visit http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/suicide... for more information.
Suicide often times does not come and go with house privileges (if she is able to go out with friends). Perhaps it is an attention seeking behavior but regardless should not be taken lightly in case it is not.
I would contact your parents and see what options as a family you can offer her. Maybe she needs one on one guidance. I have a friend who benefited from group counseling. She felt supported by people who had been where she had been. Perhaps medication is another opportunity for improvement in her behavior.
Best of luck to you.Health Question & Answer

A 16 year old trying drugs and having sex!!.? OMG! That's unheard of! I'm being facetious of course..... Your parents should try and guide her through this and obviously she needs help for her suicidal feelings. Professional help. You can call her and try to be a friend, that's the best you can personally offer. Grounding a 16 year old for having sex and trying drugs only makes them want to do it more.Health Question & Answer
Can she come stay with you for a time, while you help her.? She needs someone that she can trust to talk to about why she is acting out the way she is. You need to atleast keep in close contact with her via a phone or somen. Keep her close in your heart and never let her take that apart from you.Health Question & Answer
