DD emotional breakdowns before school

A bully or mean girl who regularly makes comments about her appearance? You need to press her a bit in the genesis of these breakdowns. Sure, it could be related to horomones/ her period but it could be something else.

Yup, totally agree. OP you should have more conversations with her when it's not morning and you're not in the middle of the breakdown. Ask about school, ask also about what she notices is different the mornings she gets up and out with zero issues, vs. the mornings when all kinds of things can make her lose it. Ask her what's going on and definitely ask about how school is going and how social stuff is going. And ask if anyone is being mean or making her feel bad about something.
