It's probably nothing, and just the regular mind of a ten year old, but this is what my sister is like: |

Be yourself - everyone else is taken.
I've seen a lot of documentaries about that. The thing is that sometimes, when the kid is feeling alone it can invent a friend. A friend to be always with him/her. Sometimes it's not just imagination but it gets a lot deeper. It can be spirits. In one of the documentaries, the child called a spirit of a dead man. And that spirit was good with the kid. It was protecting him. The only problem was that, the spirit got used to be ALWAYS with the kid and it started hurting his family as soon as they approached the little boy. Those imaginary friends scare the crap out of me. All I can say is: just becarefull because it can get worse then that. Also, maybe you or some member of your family should pass more time with your sister. So she may not feel alone. That way she may also forgeth her imaginery friends. |

If you think she is not pretending, then maybe you should specifically ask her. It may be a mental problem. I am open minded to the idea of ghosts/spirits and stuff, but something like this might be a serious problem like schizophrenia (I'm no expert, but you should make sure whether or not she is pretending). I hate to break this forums rules, but this is something you should be careful about. If shes not pretending, it might also not be a ghost. |

I dont know any ten year old that do that kind of stuff. And I have 2 cousins at that age. And when I was ten, I didnt talk to anyone. You better hope that she is talking to ghosts, cuz otherwise this is a mental issue. Play with her more or something, it may be nothing now, but who knows what that kind of thing turn into. Today she is playing with them, tommorow they may ask her to kill a kitty on the street, the next they might.. Prevent this man, this is not nice. How can you think this is normal. Well of course there is a big chance, that she is just joking around, and making herself look like she believe that there are friends, if she thinks it for real - NOT COOL. |

Jeez guys, I didn't think this would be close to this big of a deal. But thanks for the information you're all sharing. |
|
well Walfe, if I was you I would be worried about it. Because it could be a amental problem. It could be also spirits (wich scares the shit out of me). In any case it might be bad. But it can also be just some stage of life that she's passing through. |
|
Worry accomplishes nothing other than to cloud the judgment and shield the heart from making good decisions. |

Its almost certain that is not spirits, it sounds pretty mental to me. First - it is much more posible and Second - she is talking about dinosavours atacking people on TV and stuff like that, which are imagination, not some spirit stuff. And when you add that she has a bit imagination it looks more mental to me. |
|
Thanks for taking my suggestion Walfe. I hope everything will be ok in the end |

Holy crap you are all way the hell overreacting. I think this is normal behavior for extremely imaginative and creative children and people in general. I used to be just like that. I used to talk to my imaginary friends all the time, name them all, play by myself for hours and hours...AND I even played with barbie dolls until the age of 14 when my mom finally took them away! |

Hm yea, Aquanina is right. |

Try trowing salt ( salt is supposed to represent purity ) at your sister's imaginary friends if they get pissed and attack you they most likely be evil spirits! just kidding i think it's normal behaviour if she was no real friends in witch case you should try to socialize a bit with her. |
|
I didn't say that it is necessary a mental problem or whatever. I said it COULD be. And it could also be just some stages in life that she's passing throuhg. |
