Behaviour issues in year 9

DD just started year 9 at a new school. She had a big falling out with her friends at her old one, this isn't unusual for teenage girls but things were getting quite serious so I thought moving her would be best. She has a very loud personality, likes to make people laugh and she's made lots of friends easily. However I've already had multiple phone calls about talking, throwing things, making innapropriate comments, showing up to class late after break and lunch and it's only about the third week. She had the odd slip up here and there as her old school but no where near as bad as this. I told her many times it's all about first impressions, if she behaves like this during the first few weeks they'll always have her down as a bad student. I took her phone off of her last weekend, she took the punishment, apologised and didn't the same thing all over again

Gingerninj. Sounds like the discipline is stronger at her new school. She has to change her behaviour. Her new school will just compile a thick file of all her indiscretions and you'll have a much bigger problem on your hands if they decide its too much in the future. Her GCSEs will start in year 9 or 10 so it really is time to buckle down.
