16 year old DD, she is my eldest, she had an awful time in school with bullying etc, we removed her and she ended up going to another school in year 10.
The first school she was at was an OFSTED outstanding school but didn't deal with the issues she was going through very well, we moved her to another school, we didn't have a lot of choice, we had to go with what was avaliable. It isn't a terrible school but there seems to be a lot of he teachers trying to be friends with the kids rather than being their teachers.
Since starting with them, her behaviour has plummeted, she is rude and disrespectful at home, we regularly remove her phone etc and she will apologise etc and seemingly play along for a little while, then we are back at square one with her.
She used to be such a good girl.
Don't get me wrong she could be a lot worse, there are no boys coming round, she doesn't not come home or vape or swear etc but she just seems to be almost on her way to these things.
My DH and I are very strict with a lot of things but we give the DC room to gain some independence and learn from mistakes etc as we understand they need to do that.
She just cannot seem to get that she needs to have some respect at home.
I know she will come out the other side of this, I am just so concerned her grades are falling, she is going to fail her GCSE's and not get herself where she needs to be for the college course she wants to take.
Has anyone got any tips on how to deal with this?
