Hi Rene,

I have a really tricky situation on my hands!

My daughter, Rebecca, is 14 years old – and over the last couple of years has changed from a sweet angel to a sarcastic, argumentative and angry teenager.

Last week I went to pick her up from school and was shocked to see her and a group of her friends picking on another girl and shoving her around.

When I asked her about it Rebecca didn’t even try to deny it. She said the girl was a ‘bitch’ and deserved what she got.

I don’t like this new Rebecca and I have a horrible feeling that this wasn’t an isolated incident.

How can I find out if my daughter really is a bully? And more importantly – how can I stop this behavior?

Frustrated and very sad
