I am very concerned about my 12 year old daughter. She has not had a period in 7 weeks. She has never missed a period for 25 months. She went on a week-long church mission trip, combined middle school and high school age group. This might be too far-fetched; yet, I am worried she might be pregnant and that she might not understand (or be in denial) due to her age. It could be that she was sexually assaulted or, at the least, taken advantage of... She looks about 15 and is very unsure of herself around boys. If she is worried about pregnancy, then I can understand why she would be too scared to come and talk to me (or anyone). When should I reach out to her, in case she needs my help, support and love? Wait two more weeks? How should I approach this "unknown" with her. I don't want to assume anything; yet, in today's world, anything is possible. (Of course, the odds would be that she's not pregnant.) Please share your thoughts and suggestions ASAP. Thank you
You do need to talk to her, asap. I am not sure how you would go about working it into a conversation, but if there is anything wrong then she is lucky to have a supportive and caring parent
I agree that this should be acknowledged asap, especially in a girl so young..
You are not being far fetched in your thinking, SADLY, many young girls are assaulted.
I work pt for womens clinics, and have seen young girls at 13-14 years of age become pregnant at summer camps..
This would have to be brought up delicately, but definately soon..
