What do you mean by being bad exactly?
It is always best to use positive reinforcement than a negative one. Do not constantly tell her or scold her that she is being bad.
Try saying like " Honey/Baby, you're a good girl right? Good girls don't do ( whatever wrong she did)." so she knows that it's not good to do it again. 5 year old kids are too young to distinguish being right from wrong.
Always praise her that she is good. If she does something nice etc. make it known.
My nephew was like that and he would cry when scolded. I love kids and I don't like scolding them. Whenever he did things like throwing stuffs and difficult to feed I always tell him " Baby you are a good boy right? Good boys don't throw stuff at other people"
Say sorry. Then he behaves.
Hope it helps.
Just remember be positive so the one retained in her mind is the positive one. If you always tell her she's being bad, then the child will put retain that in her mind and all she thinks is that it's being bad.

First stop calling her a bad little girl I have a five year old twins and a six year old. They respond better to reinforcing good behavior with praise small treats, like stickers lots of hugs and kisses and lots of you did a great job. Also turn her attention to something constructive when she's in destructive mode!!

I would not distinguish between calling her "bad" and "good." I child should not learn that they are good or bad based on their behavior, but that they are a good person based on who they are, not what they do.
Second, I would focus on the good and positive things she does and reinforce that by acknowledging those positive, desired behaviors she does.
Ignore as much as possible, the negative things she does. Giving attention to the negative things, actually tends to reinforce those behaviors as you are, yes, giving them attention.
Of course some things, like putting a hand on a hot stove, cannot be ignored, but minimize the attention you give to them. Over time, the child will learn that she receives the most attention from you for the positive behaviors she does and will want to continue doing those things.

You should have started a little earlier then 5 w/the discipline. However, don't call her a "bad girl", let her know she is misbehaving and let her know there are consequences for this behavior.

First of all don't call her a "bad girl" she's only living up to what you think of her. Tell her that her behaviour is wrong but not that she is bad. Children really do care what their parents think of them. If you are calling her a bad girl then that's what she's going to be.

This is a very vague question... What are the problems you are having? is she having problems with behavior in school too?
most of the time our kids misbehave because of things WE do. (and i'm speaking for myself, too) even parents with the best of intentions can "spoil" a child. (in terms of behavior, not material goods)
without knowing the problems, it's hard to give a recommendation. try watching "Supernanny" on TV or even checking out Jo Frost's website or book. she's amazing, and really helps people turn around negative behaviors!
good luck!

First of all, don't tell her she is bad. Tell her what she DID is bad. Secondly, be consistent with what you do. Let her know that it hurts peoples feelings when she is acting naughty.
