What Causes Aggressiveness And Lack Of Self-discipline?

my daughter is 12 and she s changed drastically over the past month. She s become very disrespectful and is doing poorly in school. This is a high honor roll student who is a member of the National Junior Honor Society. She s not doing her homework and enjoys laying around watching tv. She s not brushing her teeth or keeping her body clean. She seems to have lost her drive. I am at my wits end and very disappointed and concerned with her behavior. Is this just puberty or can this be something more?

Hello,

First, you should try to speak with your daughter to try to understand what is going on. If this doesn't help then you should ask for help in a psychology or psychiatry for an adolescent to pass this situation. It is better to ask for help so you can help your daughter.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Elona Dashi
