I thought I would share a few pictures from my 14 year old daughter's sketch book...
…should I be concerned?

14? Well, I'm sure this won't scar her for life.

you can talk about gordon if you are a gordon, but if you're not a gordon you must never mention gordon

Yeah, my kid quickly outgrew the idiotic in-jokes, crappy photoshops, and CDCs. I'm sure I will too at some point.

Serious question, did she consent to you posting these on here?
I'm assuming she did, but the way you phrased it ("I thought I would share...") puts a question mark in my mind.

she did not
the reason I have posted here is that she is taking her options for key stage four and has decided AGAINST art???? :(

I must admit that doesn't sit particularly well with me, but I'm not her parent.
Each to their own, and all that. I just know that I'm glad a parent didn't post the kind of angsty stuff I was drawing at 14 on the internet.
Because there wasn't an internet to speak of, but never mind

Horses for courses
I feel if she knew she was good she may rethink her options (I probs won't tell her tho)

with regard to her options maybe it's best left as a stress relieving hobby
and a private one at that? - i dunno - very talented regardless

100% artifus
She can do whatever she wants to do (veterinary nurse it is) I just worry about wasted talent - but happiness comes first for sure!

Hey, it's up to her to use her gifts however she wants to.
Being a veterinary nurse is an amazing thing if that's her calling, and if she has the talent and skills to do that, she can still find outlets for her artistic gifts. It's not an either/or choice.

Art for fun
and animals for work sounds a good mix.
Most people I know with an arts background only get to do the stuff they want to do in their spare time, anyway.

She will draw when she wants to draw.
Maybe she feels like art in school is too structured and censored and conformist.

WOW
I wish you were her art tutor! All I hear is "She has morbid talent" :(

I was drawing ultraviolent cartoons about psychotic hedgehogs killing every human in sight.
I turned out OK, I guess.

I dunno, this makes me feel more uneasy the more I think about it.
I don't doubt that you are genuinely proud of her and her talent, but it seems to me that it should be her choice whether to post her art on a public forum. Regardless of what your intentions were.
Of course, this is one person's opinion on the internet, I may be completely out of order here, so I'm just going to say that and leave it there.

My nipper loved art,
But when she chose it as an option, she found it so stifling she hates to draw now.
Shame.
