do your parents treat u differently since you started middle school, high school?

Yes, this is called "teen years" I noticed a change in my daughter, when she went into middle school her attitude began to change from a sweet little girl to a sarcastic pre-teen.

I remember being a teen myself, and experienced the same thing with my mother, never realizing that "I" was the one who was changing, which made her change due to how she reacted to my attitude.

My daughter is a good kid for the most part, and she is smart, and the one thing I keep reminding her is that through all the influences in her life "which are her friends" to never let anyone, any of these friends strip her from her identity.

She is in 7th grade this year and she has been a b student, but because she spends so much time on the computer, screwing around, texting friends, goofing off, I see her attitude becoming careless. She had an F in math this marking period, and a few other grades dropped.

I have limited her computer time, she is not to use her cell phone during the week now, she needs to put her priorities and responsibilities first. First is school, then home and THEN her friends and fun. Because she was putting friends and fun ahead, her grades dropped, even at home nothing was being done, slacking off on keeping her bed made etc.. and then to have 2 teachers telling me that she is not making an effort, as well as given chances to make up her poor grades and not coming in to do so- "doesn't care"

What else could I do but to limit her fun time. High school doesn't give you second chances, you get it or you don't and if you don't then too bad- they won't spend that time caring about you.

Another thing I told her recently is that we need to get her to the doctor and have her eyes checked, they seem to be rolling around alot lately. She even rolled her eyes at a teacher last week and the teacher stated how my daughter acted like she was just sooo annoyed with her.

This is the teen attitude that makes us angry. My daughter claims she doesn't roll her eyes, doesn't see how she is, and I do believe it because I never realized that I did that when I was a teen. But this is a very difficult stage "between 12 and 16" sometimes even older. Difficult for the teen and the parents. A lot of conflict. You are going from a kid to a young adult. It is a huge transition. It will get better.

I started high school last year. My mum actually teaches at the high school I attend so she understands and is fine. One day in the early weeks of my first term, I broke down. I was crying, I felt so stressed and I had an assignment due the next day. My mum was so understanding, she sat down with me and comforted me.

I'm not telling you this to make you more upset, but to let you know that I'm sure your mum really cares for you, she is just appearing a bit pushy because she wants you to do well.

I think you should (very maturely) confront your mum. You need to let her know that you are feeling upset about the way she has been acting. Let her know that you'd appreciate it if she could support you instead of nagging.

Hope this helps. Feel free to drop me a line if it doesn't.

well, when children start middle school and high school, some parents seem to lose their trust in their children, because if you look at our world today, when children get out of elementary school and start growing up, they get in to bad situations like smoking, peer pressure, sex, etc. and so the parents get more serious about that stuff and they keep a big eye on their kids. also, parents might nag you sometimes like making you do your homework because they want their kids to do get good grades so you can go to college and get a good job. so i hope this helps you understand

sounds like mom might having a hard time letting her baby go and doesnt know how to handle it. she might be nagging you because she wants u to better. with age comes responsibility! just tell her how u feel. or if she starts yelling at you, dont fight back as it will only make the situation worse! dont add fuel to the fire. it takes someone to make the first step and the rest will fall into place. good luck

since Joe came (her fiance) things have been different, and not for the better, that was just around the time I was starting middle school, but here's a new and insane concept, it might be US!!! *dramatic backround music* no, but seriously, get in her skin and walk around in it, sometimes she is right, but other times she isnt, and the only thing you really have is the satisfaction of knowing, you just have to play along sometimes

hahaha oh man dont worry it happened to me two.....down the road (i mean like senoir year) everything goes back to normally. I am not really sure why they change like that but I plan on finding out when I have kids of my own .

My mom just got grumpier over the years. But she always treated us like adults so that's cool.

this happens to everyone, i dont really think its the parents, i think its more the teens because for some reason like right around 7th grade they go through that stage of "your ruining my life, i hate my parents". it'll pass. but dont give your mom too hard of a time, go easy on her, she loves you.

=]

maybe its the fact that she dosent trust you as much because you are growing up and she is afraid...my mum started acting weird not mean but i just told her to trust me and to act normal until i break her trust......and ever since i said that our relationship has been just right =]

non ono oonononoono dont worryy my mom AND dad did that but we got over it it was because they didnt want me doing something stupid they had to keep an eye out ffor me. if they didnt i would be like getting drunk everynight and stuff so i thank them ALOT
