worried about my sister shes 11?

i live at home with me my mom my dad my sister my brothers (2)

we all get along for the most part except for the usual sibling rivalry

you can expect for 4 siblings exept for my sister, she seems to be

very very very esily aggitated when she becomes mad she seems to hit

or turns to violence like she took the tv remote and threw it at my head

although it sounds funny discribing it all i was doing was playing with the

dog she was annoyed at me playin with him throwing the toy so her anser

instead of telling me to stop was throughing the remote and it hit my head,

my point being is she is so easily set off and she turns to violence or yelling

or some crazy expresive emotion or just crys, this has been going on for 3 weeks

we live in a normal house hold christian/jewish family no exposure to domestic violence

ever

im afraid shes going to get worse my mom is like in dinial or something because shes

just like its a phase be careful around her da da da but idk, she violent and angry and

she used to be so sweet and play ful

im just wondering if you guys think this is a phase

and i shouldnt worry its like her mood is changing

constantly and am worried what do you think am i over reacting?

    She is probably just starting puberty and is getting moody. I have a temper too but I usually didn't get agitated that quickly. It could also be an attention thing. What's the age difference between her and the rest of you? She may be acting like this to get you to take her seriously. I used to lose my temper quicker (I still have a short fuse it's part of my personality) when I was younger. It was my way of saying take me seriously because despite the fact that there's only a 2 year age gap between my older brother and I, I was always the baby. Maybe your sister feels the same way. Either way talk to her or just ignore her behaviour if it is an attention thing she'll stop when she works out that it's not getting her anywhere.

    I don't think it is a phase, it's just something she's picked up...from television, society today yada yada yada.

    There are solutions, for instance, if she cares about you as much as you seem to care about her you could have a talk with her and let her know that you are worried and that it hurts you. Also, when she is violent, how is it handled? Violent behavior should be punished and it would really help if your mom would be more involved in the solution as well. When she threw the remote at you, your mom should be the one to let her know that it's wrong. If your mom isn't there or is busy you should have turned off the television and told her why you turned it off, this way she knows hurting people doesn't get her what she wants.

    Good Luck, hope this helped!

    If she is 11, it sounds like changes that you go through at that age. She may be getting to the point of periods, if not already having them. This can cause a young girl to go "crazy". Her body is going through a lot and it will effect her mentally, emotionally, and physically. She could be going through something outside of your home. You never know unless you sit and talk to her...if that's possible.

    She sounds unstable and mentally ill. You should get her checked out by a psychologist. Nobody I know has ever gone through a "phase" like that.

    around the same age and i think you should do something personal with her and get out of the house just as you 2. she might feel more comfortable with what shes going through to tell you.

    try to tell her that she needs to use words to talk to you because you don't communicate with hitting,. it sounds like something you would tell a toddler i know but she is having a tantrum.

    Alot of incorrect spelling mistakes there...

    & Yes you are over-reacting.

    In My opinion...some people are like that.

    Just whn she have one of her moods & wanna act out

    & hit you, hit her back, she'll stop sooner or later.
