 I have a 12year old daughter and I am at my wits end with her. You ask her to do something and she acts like you just killed her. She'll take three hours to clean a room that you asked her to do. When you discipline her she acts like she is a perfect angel and does no wrong. You can let her stay at a friends house and she still wants more. How much can I give a kid? And is it asking too much to get help from her. She does beautiful in school but her attitude and home stinks. We used to get along alot better. How can I deal with a teenager better? When does it get easier because sometimes I feel like my preciou little girl has turned into a witch. Please help me figure out how to make things better with her.

 Hi My answer to your question is yes they can be. But in those years is when it means the most. She probably hasn't started her period yet, right? Well her hormones are just going hay wire right now. It will confuse her and make her lash out. I just went through this with my daughter. Be happy she is still doing good in school. I right now am having that one to defeat all the thanks to her father. Anyways back to you. The only thing you can do right at the moment is sit down and talk to her (NOT ABOUT CHORES ONLY) really talk to her. Ask her about her feelings. Have your whole family sit down and write things to discuss. Give each person the chance to speak their mind. NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO INTERRUPT THE SPEAKER. LET HER GO FIRST THIS WAY SHE GETS TO SPEAK HER MIND. Set chairs around the room like you where back in school. Sometime a set atmosphere helps. The other thing you need to have every one do on their lists is also to include the good. Make sure that those things are also discussed. You might find that it might just be something little that you didn't think was a big deal but to her was the biggest thing on the whole planet. Kids do like to be drama queens. Keep in touch and let me know how it goes.

 I agree with lisavht, your 12 year old probably has hormones that are going crazy. The last year with me and my daughter was exactly as you describe. She finally started her period in January of this year, and there has been a large improvement. Hold out hope for that to help. My daughter still has her moments, but nothing like before she started her period. Be strong.
