I recently intercepted notes with my13 yr old granddaughter and it was a discussion of her cutting herself-- not because of being depressed but just wants to. I know this site says for parents but I have helped raise her and don't know where to turn. I have the notes. Talking to her mother would be of no use and probably not School and other grandparents. Where do I turn and has anyone been through this? Thank you for any help. I don't know where to turn.

My daughter is 14 and she is a compulsive liar. She not only lies to me, but also to her peers. While I don't like the lying to me, I do understand that teens lie to their parents. It is the lying to her peers that bothers me. She makes up these unbelievable stories about drinking and sexually activity that I know aren't true because she was at home with me when the "alleged" incident took place. And even when her friends clearly don't approve of what she did, she continues to lie to others. She was caught in a bad lie by her friends last year and almost lost her 3 closest friends. She lied her way out of it and won them back. I brought her to therapy and it seemed to work for while (or she didn't get caught) but she seems to be going back to her old ways. Everything I have read relates to lying to parents. Anybody have a similar issue or have any advise? Thanks!
