Today, I found out my 12 year old daughter is going through a bit of an "emotional" stage. I got a call from her school saying she was sitting in the corner at recess trying to cut her wrist. With a plastic spoon. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I walked into the kitchen to find my daughter trying to cut her wrist with a plastic spoon. When I asked her why, she said her friend Lucy did that so her parents would buy her pretty things. My daughter and Lucy are both four years old. FML
Today, I found my 6 year-old daughter upstairs, lying on the floor with scissors. She was giving, "the carpet a haircut." FML
Today, I learned that my 11 year-old daughter wrote a love letter to her teacher. Cute, right? It was an incredibly graphic letter where she asked him to "abduct her and chain her up in his basement." I now must find her a new school and a therapist. FML
Today, I found my daughter sobbing and trying to stick a wad of gauze to her vagina. She was having her first period. FML
Today, I got a call from my daughter's school saying that she had beat someone up. She's 4. FML
Today, my eldest daughter told me about the sharp pains she's been having for the past couple of days. She also told me how she thinks it's really pointy carrots trying to escape her body. She's 11, and going to middle school. FML
Today, I had to pick my daughter up from pre-school because she repeatedly hit another kid with a stick. Apparently, my parents have been letting her watch violent action movies again. FML
Today, I have discovered that my daughter is struggling with anorexia. When I sat down to talk with her about it, she said it’s because, "all the other kids at school keep calling her fat." She was underweight before, and has now gone to being severely underweight. FML
Today, I got a call from my daughter’s school. They found her on the roof, threatening to kill herself. I had to pretend to sound scared and sad over the phone, but in reality, the only emotion I could feel was extreme joy. FML
Today, my thirteen-year-old daughter tried to scratch the freckles off of her face. We ended up going to the hospital. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

It isn't really important that she used a plastic spoon. If she wants to cut her wrist (and/or even commit suicide) she has a big issue. Please, take it seriously. Even kids can get in a depression, search help to get her back out again.

That...that is silly. However, you still should get that checked out. When I was 8, I threatened to kill myself with a butter knife (thought the butcher knives would hurt too much) and as ridiculous as it was, it was just before my onset of serious depression that I still struggle with.

Maybe you should hold her back until she learns to do it properly.

I feel like everyone goes through a depressing phase but it will pass. I think that you should talk to her though.

It's cute how you think that depression "phases" eventually pass.

Well, maybe you should try to get your daughter some help instead of putting this on FML as entertainment! It may seem ridiculous or like she's just trying to get attention, but i either way, she needs help and I'm sure your daughter would apriciate it if you took her seriously! If she is just trying to get everybody's attention, that may mean she hasn't been getting enogh attention from you. Does she have younger siblings? Maybe she feels like they get all the attention because little kids need attention. This is all just a theory of course, I'm only 14 and I'm in no way qualified to critisize your parenting, and that is not what I'm trying to do. Just think about it and please, take your daughter seriously.

This is a serious cry for help, not an "emotional phase." PLEASE get her some help before she moves on to actually cutting herself, or worse. Best of luck.

She still has recess at age 12? I mean, people get a little depressed as they start puberty cause of alot of emotions... She'll get over it
