I thought maybe there was a bully - but now not sure. fatique, headache, low body temp. 96.6 - 96.7. we take her to the doc and it's a virus. I(grandmother) has ra, could it be that- she is very pale - just no color in her facial skin at all. she loves school and now calling before lunch that she just doesn't feel good. take her home and all she wants to do is sleep.

It is common occurrence in teen girls. I would advice you to take her to a Counselor. She is going through lots of psychological and physical changes in her body. Development of breast, pubic hair,menstrual cycle, attraction to boys all these thing can cause anxiety in her behavior . She may be withdrawn from society . Her increase in sleep can also be attributed to this.
