Badly Behaved 9 year old!!

Hi All,

I don't often post here but i'm really having a hard time with my 9 year old DD.
She's always been a bit difficult to deal with. But she's got a very loving and kind side so its always balanced out. Her behaviour has gone up and down over the years but the last few months I'm don't know what to do.
Her school friendships are fraught with fallings out. She's always in the middle of some drama where someone said or did something and it's never her fault. Once someone has upset her thats it she can never forgive or move past it.
She seems to be drawn towards mean girls who love drama and she can herself be this way. She seems to find nice kids boring.
Recently though she has started stealing, lying and being quite vindictive.
I told her off for coming down stairs at 10.15pm one night and she tipped a glass of water over my side of the bed resulting in no sleep for me.
The school have contacted me saying she's been involved in a bit of upset in the yard and a good friend of mine has contacted me saying she is bullying her daughter.

Any advice would be much appreciated

Gosh that's so difficult. Have you spoken to the school to see if they have any ideas on why she may be behaving this way?
