Is my daughter 'normal'

58% Normal
10 Comments

I mentioned my daughter in another is it normal question. I want to know if she's 'normal'. She often draws cat whiskers on herself, hates make-up and has a strange desire of tattoos and piercings (?). She is never off the Internet and whenever I ask her what she wants for Christmas/her birthday she just replies with 'band merch'. She is 11 and a girl (obviously). She also went through a phase where she thought someone was hiding in the house to kidnap her/kill her. I think she's what you would call 'normal' but is it anything to worry about?

    Your daughter sounds like a typical preteen. Totally normal.

    Your daughter reminds me of myself. I like piercings and tattoos but I don't have tattoos though they just interest me. I'm always on the internet and basically live in band merch, I'm 21. Relax your daughter is pretty cool she could be out there doing stuff with boys etc but she's at home on the internet obsessing about bands and band merch, that's pretty normal. Oh I once drew cat whiskers on my nose it's cute & silly and that was profile pic on fb for months!

    unless she is really stupid, then she is just not mainstream and there is nothing to worry about

    I draw on my face with a sharpie too and look for people hiding in the house and I'm a 28 year old man and I'm a perfectly normal autistic schizophrenic.

    I think she's a normal preteen.

    However...
    A desire for dark things means she has a lack of self esteem and freedom. Take her to get her nails done or something, make her feel like a girl. She hates makeup because the "beautiful popular girls wear it", and God forbid she's like them.
    (She feels like her differences are good and not mainstream like those girls, making that the only thing setting her apart.)

    Cat things.... identity crisis.

    Guy trying to kill her... anxiety issues. Get her checked before they become a real issue.

    Your daughter is totally normal, and you shouldn't worry about her unless she cut herself or has sex~!
