Regarding Celina's pictures / her eyes...
I took my son (at the ripe old age of 7) to see a psychologist. He has not ever had any trauma in his life, and he is not from a "broken" home. When we walked into her office, she took one look at my son and said to me "he is suffering from clinical depression". I had my suspicions that this was the case, but I was FLOORED that she could reach this conclusion without even speaking to him!!
After our meeting, many questions, a form filled out, I asked her how she came to this conclusion so quickly. She said, "Look at his eyes. He does not have that shining happiness that a boy his age should have." Depression runs in the family, so I was not surprised by the diagnosis. He took medication, and he is much better. However, it is something that scares me for the rest of his life!
Now, I know that this is not a complete diagnosis, but I have to agree with others. Celina's eyes tell me that she is not a happy young girl. Why? Is it something as simple as depression left untreated? Or, was something going on in her life that took away her shine?![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
