To me it sounds like at best she is under extreme stress and at worst at  
risk of possible mental illness, as she appears to be disassociating from  
herself and coming out with apparently random thoughts ... I would ask  advice from 
local CAMHS or other mental health agencies ASAP. The pressures on  the highly 
intelligent are huge and she may not be able to cope; she may  have high 
expectations of herself as well as fears of failure, especially as she  is due to 
start year 11 soon...or this could have been triggered by some event  that her 
parents know nothing about. these usually have a trigger when they  reach 
crisis point. Always assuming that she isn't the type to "put it on"  for 
attention, this young girl certainly needs help.  



Best wishes,
