Maybe I am wrong in saying this, but where were her parents before? Shouldn’t have there been someone there for her more before? As the daughter of a psychiatrist, I know that bi-polar disorder does not just pop out of nowhere. All the self-destruction she does is not only due to this disease but it is done because she is simple frustrated and alone. She needs counseling, not necessarily a strong hand to tell her no, but if she does not want to change herself, for her own good, she will not. It does not matter what her mom and dad and family want or don’t want her to do.
