[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I'm not hearing is, why? Why do tween/teen girls become so unpleasant? [/quote] hormones[/quote] I think it's more than hormones. The expectations of middle school are increased; the social dynamics shift--rocking their confidence; they become more concerned about their bodies and appearance and boys; they have less adult supervision much of the time at this age so peers model poor behavior. But mostly, I think the stress of "it all" pours out when they are safe at home. To some degree we want to be that safe place and let them vent a bit, but you also have to set limits and enforce appropriate behavior. [/quote]
