  • get angry or upset easily
  • have had a significant event in their lives, e.g. a breakup with significant other
  • suffer poor academic/school performance when they usually do very well
  • exhibit unexplained cuts or scratches
  • wear clothes that are inappropriate for the weather, e.g. wearing long sleeves on hot day
