I just don’t know what to do…at school & with friends she is lovely…with me she’s awful. I work with teenagers & I understand this year has been unsettling for children, I’m trying to be patient, but I her attitude, shouting, talking to me like dirt really grind me down. Nothing I do seems to touch her, time in her room, taking away privileges, she never seems sorry for her actions. What do I do, how do I handle this? It’s really getting me down.
