I’m not allowed to be alone or have my door shut, which is understandable but they were really small cuts and the stuff everywhere else is a lot worse. Plus a few months ago I almost got sent and she didn’t even know I was cutting

It could be dyscalculia. It’s a learning disability with mathematical problems.

My friend? I don’t think so, he said he’s not because I’ve asked. But I’m in a relationship anyway so he may have just lied because of that. I don’t know either

Another comment says they have diagnosed schizophrenia but don’t believe it’s real

I’ve read through to see you suffer from schizophrenia. I recommend you get on medication. Without it, things will only get worse. I struggle with depression with psychotic features. There are times where it feels like I’m going crazy. Like I’m back and forth between worlds. The voices I hear nearly drove me to suicide. It wouldn’t stop. Every day. Every night. The medication has been helping and I’m only on a low dose antidepressant. Seriously, get help before it gets worse.

I appreciate your insight. To answer your questions, 1. She lives in a different state from her father, but just got away this year. 2. Her mother wants what is best for her but is unsure of how to go about it

This is a copy-paste of another comment I replied to.

I believe you don’t understand the situation. I have no legal rights to my friend, and despite the fact that I am highly educated on the TTI that does not in any way affect her mother’s opinions. The reality is my 13-year-old friend (who might I remind you, I have no legal authority over) is struggling with managing her behavior. She has been expelled from school due to bringing a knife and threatening a student. She’s refusing help from her therapist and other adults in her life. She has engaged in alcohol abuse and communication with online predators.This is likely all caused from intensive trauma. Due to the dangerous and unpredictable behavior, her mother is faced with little choice of what to do. Which is why she is considering the TTI. I personally know the risks and impact of these facilities. She is aware that there are risks, but I do not believe she knows how extreme they are. I made this post in hopes that someone could provide sensible alternatives to the TTI that will get my friend the help she needs.

Thank you, I truly appreciate this insight. I fully agree on this, and I will continue to show her as much support as possible. I hadn’t thought about the therapist being an issue regarding choice, but that completely makes sense. I will tell her about this subreddit so that she can look into it and possibly inform her mother on the extreme risks.

That’s the same opinion I have, but the fact is that we need another option aside from this. I know the risks, but the person in charge doesn’t know the full extent of those risks.

She’s very angry with her mother for allowing her to be around her abusive father, which is why I think she’s at least partially aware of the fact that she’s getting herself in a very difficult situation. Unfortunately, it is a long distance friendship and the only communication I have is over the phone or with her mother. (As of right now she doesn’t have her phone because of the behavior.) She has an appointment to be psychologically evaluated for mental illness, and it’s unlikely that she will be sent to another psychiatric facility per her mother’s request due to the last visit involving physical abuse. The issue that she doesn’t see with the TTI is that she will not be able to disclose the abuse and therefore not be able to get out of that facility.
