[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 490992, member: 11791"] Lets see if I have the story straight... Your daughter used to live with Mom, through grade 6. In grade 7, she came to live with you, switching towns and schools, and by half-way through the school year, she was "headed downhill". Right? Switching schools, towns, friends, social life, order to life, absolutely everything... just as hormones are kicking into full force. Not quite the absolute worst year to move (that would be gr 4/5), but it is a HUGE transition. There is probably more going on... some of it may be "ordinary" stuff, like bullying... But... I think she has good cause to be struggling. Try looking at the last few years from HER perspective, and see what can be done to make changes that will improve her lot? Don't try and fix the [I]behavior[/I] so much, focus on fixing fixing the [I]relationship[/I] - because, you're going to need that in order to survive the next few years. [/QUOTE]
