Your daughter is going through changes in her mind and in her body. In today's society is a whole lot different than what we're used to when we were younger and around her age. The kids today are plagued with all kinds of things surrounding them making them want to grow up faster than we ever did like the Internet, iPods, cell phones, etc. Tweens are falling victim to these things especially when they notice what their friends have or what they're friends are doing.
She will be going through bodily changes soon as well which will add to your frustration but you must be patient with your child and to communicate with her getting to the root of the problem.
Speak with your daughter tonight, let her know you're listening to her and that she can open up about anything without getting into trouble. Spend time with her like bringing her to the mall and just have a mother-daughter day at least once a week every month.
You, as a mother can get to the core of the problem and fix it for you to give you a peace of mind and give your daughter a great relationship with her mom so she knows she can turn to you.

NO, it's not normal at all, take her to a psychologist or a psychiatrist,... I'm 21 yrs old. and i experience this already.... when i was younger i would take a lot of crap, that would make me mad, and would not say a word. As i was growing i kept taking more, but i wouldn't still say nothing.. by the age of 15 i started getting out more of my closet, and all this lil things that would make me mad would turn in to physical fights, now that I'm 21 i cant help it all.. every thing turns in to a psychical fight, any lil thing, even the smallest thing you could think about would turn psychical... i have hurt my family, I isolate my self from the world, because everywhere i go or anybody i talk to would just turn into a big fight, Now I'm going to a psychiatrist and a psychologist, and their doing a lot of studies, that i may be bi-polar... and I'm going to start anger management classes. Just don't hesitate that long till the point that is not controllable, (just like me)

Uh, she's 11. She's walking the edge of the dreaded PUBERTY. This is totally normal. You think this is bad? Wait another year or two when she gets cramps and watch as the REAL bad n' moodiness starts.
Look on the bright side: At least she's not an 11-year old boy. Boys enter their teens and their brains fall off.

Puberty. This is a strange time for girls. Their bodies are changing, hormones are raging and they just don't know what to do. You need to sit her down and have a conversation with her. Let her know what she's going through and help her find a way of accepting it and going on with life without getting angry.

sounds like she is hitting puberty and alot of hormonal changes are taking place in her body just let her know that you are there for her and that you really do understand as children get closer to being teenagers they go through so many changes and peer pressure is really hard at that age talk to her about the changes going on and you may find she has a lot of questions she was afraid or embarrassed to ask

Changes in attitude in a growing child is to be expected; BUT watch her carefully and open the door of communication between the two of you; anger is often a result of something that is troubling a child and they do not know how to or are afraid to talk about the issue.
Make sure she is safe from predators. Keep your eyes and mind open.

Yep. She's probably going to be like this for about the next six years or so... Tweenage and teenage girls think they hate themselves (they're really just trying to find their place in the world and deal with their changes) and therefore everyone around them is an idiot, or just sucks. This can change minute to minute as well.

Yup, it's perfectly normal -- and I hate to tell you, but it's probably going to get worse before it gets better. It's hormones, and there isn't much you can do about it. Try not to antagonize her, let her have her space as much as you are comfortable, and tell yourself it's not your fault. Exercise helps, and a healthy diet.

Puberty can wreak havoc on kids. Sit her down and talk to her. Tell her that you know what she is going through and that you will be there for her when she needs to talk.
