Q:
Any advice for helping a 12 year old girl cope with friend issues at school? She is starting to act out at home as well.......
My daughter is almost 12 and in 5th grade. She seems to be having typical issues with friends at school such as not being invited to her best friends birthday cause she doesn't get along with one of the other girls that is going. She also has been made fun of because she got a haircut and the kids at school said she is copying someone else. I understand that kids will be kids and tell her to hold her head high but she is SO sensitive and it really bothers her. She is starting to act out at home. Last night I took her shopping for a new outfit so she would feel good in something new when she went go school today but she has so much attitude I ended up snapping at her and am afraid I just made things worse for her. I feel maybe she is acting out because of how unhappy she is at school?
Any advice would be great! She is an amazing kid with a very kind heart, I am afraid that she is starting down a bad road and don't know how to stop it......
Thank you!
