Teenagers have so much emotional problems, maybe she's upset, bothered or stressed or maybe she's just rude! Talk to her

Teenagers can be rough. I was rude to my mother and father, as well as my sister. I was having a hard time controlling my emotions. Teenagers are under pressure, to do well in school and to be the best they can be. We are treated like children yet expected to act like adults. Give her time, because she might just be conflicted on her emotions. I still find myself bursting out different emotions, and I have not much control over it. What is important is that you be there for her. Tell her you support her. That is what a teenager needs to hear, you will need to trust her and give her space when she needs it. Do not worry, this is just another temporary phase

I can't answer why, there maybe a love of things happening that you don't know (inside her brain and what she encounter) so if you wanna know ask her that won't lead to fight.

Teenagers are typically rude to their parents, but sometimes it's deeper than that. There could be something that's upsetting her and instead of asking for help she's taking it out on you. There could also be a power imbalance in the household. If it's nothing going on in her head and it's nothing you're doing, she might be rude because she thinks she can be. For example, lets say you ask her to do something and she says no and has an attitude. A mistake parents often make is feeding into the drama. Yelling at the kid entertains them and gives them the attention that they crave. Instead of that just take away a privilege. You have to actually follow through with the punishment as well. If you don't, the kid will think they can get away with it every time. I find that taking phones away makes them change their tune real quick.

That's a tough situaton to be in! There's a wonderful TEDTalk that explains why teenagers are moody, brash, rude and impulsive, which I highly recommend! Essentially, the brain isn't fully developed until the age of 25, so logical thought isn't quite set up yet. Emotions are wild, and teenagers are often very self-critical and anxious. Chances are, she's stressed, upset, feels unheard, is frustrated, and/or feels alone. It can be helpful to invite her to a Daughter and Me coffee date or hike, or picnic, and tell her that you love her, and can see that she's struggling with something, and how it makes you feel. You can suggest some mutually beneficial solutions and a way to say "hey, I need some space to cool down before we continue this conversation". Let her know you're a safe person to open up to, and that you can only support her if she tells you what she needs from you. Best of luck, teenage girls make the most amazing best friends!!

It can be very challenging to see a transformation in the relationship between a parent and a child. It is important to remember that you want 1) your child to have clear boundaries (rudeness is not tolerated under any circumstances) and 2) your child to feel that you still love them even if they are misbehaving. Have you tried a response such as : "I love you and I always will. However, I do not accept to be treated this way. Everytime you are rude to me, you will not get what you want and there will be consequences. If you are upset about something else in your life, I will always be there to listen to you, but don't take your anger out on me." It is hard to know why your teenage daughter is rude to you. It is probably because she takes out on you her own personnal problems. You can also take a look at your own behavior in an argument to make sure that you display the best example. Remember: do not attack someone, always use "I statements", meaning that it is better to talk about your feelings that to assume that you know what the other person is thinking. Good luck!

As a teenage daughter myself I felt like I have been rude to my mom too. There were times when I just didn't express myself how I wanted or I just get of my anger at her. Looking back I was just trying to act like adult and trying to be more independent but I just ended up being rude. I feel really sorry now .And if I was at your place I would try to talk to your daughter and tell her when she hurts you.
