My niece is a troubled teen. When she was only 5 she witnessed the murder of a family member and even had blood all over her. Her mother and father abandoned her shortly after and she now lives with my oldest brother and his kids but everyone (other relatives) kind of takes a part in helping to take care of her (financially). She has been going to counselling since the murder and has everything a teenager could possibly want. We show her so much love and we've all had to be counselled just to know how to deal with her. She has always been a trouble maker, constantly fighting other kids, cursing at her teachers, walking out of class when she wants, disrespecting adults left and right. She is known as "the school bully" and we don't know what to do. At our wits end. She has had priveledges taken away, no TV, study for the entire day, soap in the mouth, even boot camp but nothing works. Any advice?
