Teenage child hurting her self for attention

Been tring to get help for this child for almost 4 years ...this child sit around and hurts it's self to blame on others after taking her to several appts they said the child just tring to manutlaip the system they said it was behavior this child make sexually advance at the teachers so the child can't not be in public school and I've tried Lakeview centers and other place but they say the same what can I do

Are you in the us or UK? If your in the us then it's a little easier to find a therapist that specializes in these things. How old is the child and has she or he been victimized before. Some children display behaviors that they have seen or gone through from past trauma. From what I'm told.

Im in Florida and yes the child has and we been to four all saying the same

I'm not a doctor or therapist but from being a foster parent in the past. Kids tend to mimic what they've been through or seen. Maybe subconsciously he or she is not aware they are doing it for attention. Did they give any diagnosis? I know you cant give me a specific age but is she or he a teenager or younger? I understand some teenagers hurt themselves for attention when it comes to cutting especially where people can see.

15 and they said behavior dad got custody 4 yrs ago we had a baby and all hell broke out everything the child does tagerts at dad.dont understand the child but afraid someone is going to get in trouble behind it

I am not a doctor or something. You might need to see more doctors. Did you try studying at home? That would be an answer. 

Yes she does school at home and have to watch her like a baby it's hard

This is important. Don't be offended.

Does she know you love her? Does anyone show her any affection? (if you are family/friend etc)

Well I have cried to her begged her Insured her that just because I didn't Birth her I love and care for her just as much as I do my own 3 and her brothers and sister I hold her try to hug here but what can u do when they push u away and the love she wants from her father is not a father daughter type of love she wants a father girlfriend type of love because she has been molested while with her biomom and that seems to think it was ok...

Aww bless her heart.

Yea ! But it seems asbwe catching everything and no one wants to give us help. Things have gotten worster and Lord knows im tired sometimes I have thoughts of not even waking up

Talk to a preacher of a Church Of God. I truly believe they may can help you. They also council the family free...try it, what else is there to lose. We are here for you..we will always listen and try to advise when able..please know there is always one who is there for you. Just talk to Him..He is a great physician!! smile

We really don't have a home chruch so o wouldn't know we're to start

Then maybe just ck out a church from where you live. Just look around for one or check out the phone book or something and see where once at that you can go check out. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have that. But I will be praying for you.

You can also call a preacher and he can give you advice over the phone where to go what to do. But in the meantime you can pray and ask Jesus for help and he may not be able to help her because of Free Will choices but he can sure give you peace.
