I HAVE A 13 YR OLD GIRL THAT IS OUT OF CONTROL. SHE HAS BEEN SUSPENDED FROM SCHOOL SEVERAL TIMES THIS YEAR, BEEN LOCKED UP IN JUVY OVERNIGHT, AND CONSTANTLY CUSSES ME AND HER MAMAW OUT. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING I KNOW OF TO GET HER TO GET CONTROL OF HER ACTIONS. SHE IS CURRENTLY ON MEDICATION FOR HER ANGER ISSUES AND SHE IS ON PROBATION. WHAT CAN A SINGLE MOTHER OF 3 DO? I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT IS GOING ON IN HER MIND. SHE WONT TALK TO ME AND I AM DEVASTATED ABOUT ALL THIS.

I DONT WANT HER BROTHERS TO END UP LIKE THE WAY SHE IS RIGHT NOW. I TELL MY SONS NOT TO ACT LIKE THEIR SISTER BUT HER TWIN BROTHER IS STARTING TO ACT OUT. I CAUGHT HIM SMOKING CIGS YESTERDAY AND I REALLY BLEW A FUSE THEN.

CAN ANYONE GIVE ME SOME SUGGESTIONS ON WHAT I SHOULD DO? I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

Call Dr. Phil. He will send her to a behavior modification school. You might have to go on TV, but he'd foot the bill. I'd do it if I had to.

ok so she is on medication becasue anger...........have u ever thought she has i mean she is bipolar they have constant mood swings my ex has that .and your daughter seems seemilar too everything he got into truble like u need help hit me uop at my page like afirned iam a child development major ill be glad too help u in this

go to the Maury show

a childrens boot camp in Texas. (Works wonders, for out of control kids.)

Hate to say it but maybe boot camp and a couple months in juvy would do the trick..I have a twin sister who had the same problem and she tried your route and she now regrets it. The kids are in their 20's and they are worthless as hell. Gotts get control of the situation quick or you will lose your grip. Being an ex cop I know

Shoot it

i have no degree...but lots of experience. i was one of those wild childs. i have dealt with many over the years. kids will do what they KNOW they can get by with...jerk a knot in her tail!!! when she knows you arent messing around and will NOT tolerate ANY BS, she will start to turn around. tough love...hardest thing you will ever do when it comes to your children. you have to be hard.

your 32....she is 13.....your HER MOTHER. fix the problem the old fashion way. beat her bratty little butt and lock her in her room. seriously if people have kids, KNOW HOW TO RAISE THEM. take a little responsability and take charge, dont take crap from a friggin THIRTEEN YEAR OLD CHILD!

seriously, if i breathed the wrong way when i was younger my mom wuld go foot to ass on me, then id have to wait in my room for my dad who would then also correct me. kids get away with so much bull**** because parents are SOFT

and forget all the high priced couseling and drs and meds and ****, a nice helping of foot to ass will be more then enough medication

Family counseling is good too.....she may be having some inner turmoil that she can't talk to you about....whatever you decide to do, just keep consistant....prayers coming your way.

ditto

not cool to judge if you have never walked a mile in someone's shoes. unfortunately, the laws have changed which allows parents to MAKE thier kids mind/behave. i myself, ignored that law. i did what i had to do...i never abused or used cruel methods, but i took no chit!!! my daughter will tell you to this day...she will think twice to talk back to me and she is now 20. i demand respect and except no less!!!

These issues are most of the time dealt with therapy sessions. There are many places that they will take you on and subject to your ability to pay wil charge a fee but the agreements are that normally if you miss 2 sessions they will dismiss you. Bear that in mind
As for the issues the anger may be about a missing parent who possibly left abruptly never to return or death of a parent which causes the anxiety.
It may also be due to ADHT which needs expeert for diagnosys.

So 1st step seek counceling and then try to make sure it is not HDT or ADHT

I have 2 teenage boys and 1 teenage girl..We have been through the gamet of life stuff...as suzyQ stated...family counseling is a great option...and being a single mom ...individual counseling is and option too...for the immediate problems.. try to understand the situations that come up from your kids perspective. Blaming and accusing only builds up more walls and ends all communication. Tell them how you feel, stick to facts, and deal with the present moment. Show that you care and show your love. Work towards a solution where everyone gets something, and therefore feels okay about the resolution. Remember that anger is the feeling and behavior is the choice.

Hi Dixie, welcome to the forums

Yikes, mine is 13 too
She told me there is a girl at her school pregnant!

Ask at the school if they have some kind of counseling
or a list of recourses.
Like a tough love group

im sorry but all that add adhd abde efgh is all horse crap. adhd is a kid raised by a parent who spoils their kid and lets them get away with way to much, beat her ass, ull see what happens

jewlz...how many children have you raised and do you have a degree in such?

I am a police officer, on a dialy basis i raise the children of parents who couldnt do it themselves.

People like you make this world a very colourful place to live
I guess your colour is dark brown.
