Hello Everyone I just joined up here at DS. I was told that this sites was good to get some advice and help on several different areas. So I am here to check it out and hopefully get some incite and ideas on my teenager. Man she is a handful. she turned 13 last month. I have tried to raise her to respact her family and friends. It seems to me that something is wrong. She is always moody and grumpy. When I ask her what is the matter she tells me nothing, This is so fustrating I get mad at myself for not being to able to help her through what ever it is that is bothering her. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handles this. Even how to find out what is going on with her.. Any ideas would be helpful..

I posted a reply on the other group - Parenting Teenagers. One thing I didn't think about this morning is that your daughter may have something happening that she is not willing to share with a male. Does she have a mother or a stepmother who could talk to her and possibly get more information that you are getting?

P.S. - I forgot to say welcome to the community. I am glad that you have found a place where people care about each other, and who are very supportive.

Welcome to DS. It sounds like your daughter has hit the age where they don't want to talk as much, and they want to resolve problems on their own as much as they can. I agree with Unique that it may be something having to do with a female problem. Is there anyone close that she can talk to?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
