This is a good point, Kyle. Dropping grades and removing herself from activities that she once loved are the types of behaviors I would be on the look out for in order to prevent the behavior from becoming self-destructive. I noticed a counselor's slip in the book and I think it would be beneficial to talk with Ginny and get a better feel for what is going on. It seems like she could use some self-esteem work as she was very disappointed in herself for a number of reasons throughout the book. I also think that providing an unbiased ear to listen could be some support Ginny needs as well.

I also noticed the slip. That would be the initial step to get involved with her and to find out a little more about her situation. I also think it is important to speak to her teachers and coaches to find out if they have any concerns in regards to her behaviors.
