They are also identical twins. Anyways, here's the problem, one of the twins is acting very strange lately....For example, Abusive towards my dog (almost as if for attention)and very dis-respectful and hateful towards everyone. I cannot tolerate this especially the abuse towards my dog! I try to discipline her and tell her its not right to treat animals that way, Try grounding her, try taking away privledges, but nothing seems to stop this horrific behavior! Her sister tries stoping her as well. My mother is a push-over and lets us all get away with anything, but this is another reason my neice does not take my reprimanding seriously.
So if someone out there could please give me some hints on what to do to stop her actions, please please share. thanks!

So long as there aren't consistent rules and punishments in the house, I don't think you can make her change. I probably wouldn't let the dog around her.
The tween years are truly hard years. Puberty's coming, hormones are causing mood swings, and if there are family issues, that's going to add to it. Could she get some counseling through a school counselor or a psych? Maybe having someone objective to talk to would be helpful for her.

Have you ever asked her why she is doing this? She probabley wont like you asking but I think you should get an answer out of her even if it is hard to hear.
