My family is worried about my 11 year old sister. At home, she will never volunteer to help (we have a big family, 4 kids, 1 is 15, she's 11, twins which are 4) or help when we ask her (sometimes she'll just say "NO" and storm off), she says hateful and rude things for no reason, complains a lot, hides up in her room with her iPod or computer all the time, her moods are VERY touchy and often unreasonable, and she seems to have absolutely no empathy for anyone in our family.
However, at school her teachers rave about her. They say she's very smart, helpful, friendly, kind, and a great leader. She has lots of friends. (She does tend to be very over dramatic though, and seems to think she's much much older than she really is.)
We can't figure it out! We have a good family. Nothing has worked to change her home attitude. Could she have some type of disorder? Help!!!
