I don`t know the answer to that one, i have a son also 13 who sometimes behaves exactly the same way toward his 2 sisters and even us at times, although recentley he has become a lot better at home. Although when we try to punish him for his behaviour its world war 3..

My step son to seems to be the 13 thing hormones kicking in confussing and lets face socitiy doesnt really alllow for the freedom to display emotion not from where i sit anyway. There are a few things you could over the next month keep a diary look for things that trigger it what the reactions r come back tell us what you have found out and we can try and find you ways to combat it and work together. Talking is good but doesnt always work because they have learnt far to young how to say what you want to hear not saying thats across the board.

we have tryed talking to her but she gets so angry all the time. nothing has changed in the family and she doesnt even go out the house except for school. even at school she swears at the teachers. i have spoke to the teachers a few times about this and they dont do anything to help.it seems to be that she has to be in the center of attention at all times.

Then a diary would be good then you could take it to your gp I know that when I became anious and believe me I was seriously ill for a long time with depression and aniety but it took me years to see i was actually ill I would shout become agressive swear o god it was awful for my family husband kids even to see me break apart she may be suffering like that. My niece has hit the change and is similar in the sense of not going out and anx but not agression the doc put her on some tablets and they are now starting to work. They could also be a form of panic attack.

The only other thing you could do is send her on a retreat they arent expensive but there r no tvs viedo games nothing of the modern world its back to nature and they do councilling there and just try and help them find themselves again
