i my self have a 17 daughter and trust me at times it is not easy. she to has mood swings and gets down right mean. when she is in that state of mind i don't try talking to her, because i know that no matter what i say at that point will only cause an argument. so, i ignore her. i wait until i see she is in a better mood then i ask her what bothering her.is she don't want to talk then i leave it at that. when or if she is ready she will come to you. at this age they are struggling between childhood and adulthood. they are going through many different emotions they their adulthood side wants to figure out on their own. when the childhood side of them want to talk. then all you can do is be there. but when she is angry you don't have to put up with abuse from her. let her know that they is unacceptable.that what ever mood she is in that you did nothing to deserve to be treated that way and that you will not allow her to treat you bad.

If she is moody avoid approaching her, waite until she seems receptive to conversation. Your granddaughter is no longer a child but a young woman and is dealing with many issues leaving childhood behind. She is also at the age where it is up to her to want to change and seek help if she has anger issues etc. No one can force a young adult to change or seek counseling they must want it themselves. Pay attention to what subjects or approaches in particular upset her. No matter what if you start talking with her and she starts getting angry just back off and say sorry I will try to catch you in at a better time. Tell her you will not stand for her disrespecting you but insure you are not disrespecting her & her need to be left alone at times.
