Maybe you could remind her of the synergy of the world.



She is intentionally making people feel the way her bullies make her feel, negatively. Therefore, by definition, she is a bully, thereby ensuring that she will continue to get bullied because she's basically asking for it by being so negative to others. Some people would call this the golden rule, some call it karma, some call it cause and effect. Any way you choose to look at it, her behavior is awful and it's creating a very negative environment around and about her. On the plus side, all this crap is very, very normal for kids and especially girls of this age. You are not alone!

If she wants to be independent enough to handle it, let her, Just make sure you give her a few good ideas on appropriate ways to deal with this. On the other note, they've all got the attitude!!! Really though, school comes first. I would say, either do your homework or start losing privileges. Anything they love is where you get 'em. Sounds like she might need to skip a game or two to get some homework done...

welcome to the pre teen/teen years, unfortunately you are at that stage where you know nothing and she knows everything and you just need to stay consistent reassure her that you are there for her if she needs you. As far as the homework is concerned we have gone through that with my son and I took him out of his favorite activity for two weeks so he would get caught up and this seems to have been an eye opener as he does not like to miss dance especially during choreography season as his teachers get upset with them for being absent.worked for us.
