posting here for traffic...anyone had a difficult teenager? My DD is 13 and has been hard work since age 12 when she started her periods. I'm talking screeching, screaming, moodiness, rudeness, risky behaviour..the whole gambit.. we are dealing with things as they occur, but my sense is that this is her very extreme reaction to her hormonal changes. Can anyone give me some light at the end of the tunnel? To those who have come through to the other side, how many years did it last before they became, well, more human again?!! I'm desperate thanks.
