Question:

Answers:
Rather then asking people on Yahoo, why don't you make an appointment with a doctor? If she isn't your child, then maybe suggest it to her parents. Express your concern for her. Hopefully they won't take offense at it and will thank you for your concern.

Other Answers:
Depression and anxiety. Poor kid needs help. It sounds like she is neglected if she's not clean. Maybe child protective services needs to investigate.

It sounds like she would need to talk to a child psychologist about what it the cause of all the stress in her life.

the still peeing herself could be an issue.. either psychological or medical..
she's probably got no friends, mad and always stressed b/c of issue number one..
as for hte shower.. yeah, that would be a rearing thing..her parents should be telling her to take a shower and forcing her to wash..

Please take her to a child psychologist. There is something troubling her deeply.

first take her and get her checked out by a doctor ,,, have the doctor do a pelvic exam.. if she has not peed on herself before and now she does that's something to be very concerned about.Possible Signs and Symptoms of Sexual Abuse in Female Victims

Contacts or interactions between a child and an adult when the child is being used for the sexual stimulation of the perpetrator or another person. Sexual abuse may also be committed by a person under the age of eighteen when that person is either significantly older than the victim or when the perpetrator is in a position of power or control over another child.

this is something you should think about .. if her behaver has changed ,

GET THAT CHILD TO A DOCTOR AND A MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL RIGHT NOW!

It is a sign of some serious dysfunctioning. She could be intentionally wetting herself and avoiding showering to make herself less attractive--a sign of being sexually molested. The stress and anger are also symptoms of an abused or molested child.

Wetting could be from a kidney or bladder disease. As such it is a symptom of a physical disease, and needs medical attention right now. Left untreated, this could lead to kidney failure and other diseases.

The poor kid might not have any friends because of her hygeine problems. At age 12, the other kids won't play with or be nice to anyone who smells bad all the time. Not showering by itself is bad enough, but a kid with bathroom issues will smell even worse.

There are many different mental illnesses that also have all of the above symptoms you mentioned. This child may not be abused or molested, but she may be ill in other ways.

If this is your child, get her help NOW. If she isn't, talk to her parents, and if they are unwilling to admit she has a problem call your local Child Protective Services. Failing to get medical or psychiatric help for an ill child is just as much abuse as beating her.

Please, please, please, do not think that mental illness is somehow your fault. Modern medical science has proven that most mental illness comes from a chemical imbalance in the brain, which is due to biology, not environment

I am the mother of an autistic child, who showed all of these symptoms when she was 6 and 7 years old. She's 11 now, and has none of them any more, plenty of friends, and is happy and healthy.
