We're a couple of months into year 8 with my DD and I'm exhausted! It feels like she's changed over night!! Completely obsessed with her appearance spending hours preening and pampering, has become really picky with food and has started avoiding her lunch saying she's not hungry and is taking about her lack of appetite all the time but is then secretly snaffling sweets and biscuits. She used to be a really good eater and now seems really self conscious around food but not in a secretive way. She's recently got a boyfriend and it's all she talks about, obsessing over all the details and whilst it's very sweet I'm slightly concerned about how she will cope when / if it fizzles out. She's started to get detentions at school for minor things but now thinks it's really cool whereas in year 7 she would have been horrified. She's got a nice friendship group but she's being so fickle with them all, chopping and changing her alliances and it's hard to keep up with it. None of these things are very serious but it feels like having started year 8 she's really morphed into a proper teen all of a sudden. Is this standard typical pre-teen behaviour and will it pass?! Will my lovely sweet DD return at some points soon?!
