Have you thought about having her talk to a shrink? Serious because it sounds like this girl is going through some things and her mom leaving may be bothering her in a way that she doesn't wanna talk to you about. Just make sure she knows she is loved. Don't speak for the mother just speak for yourself. Make sure she understands that her little sister looks up to her and that she too is dealing with her mother not being there. It's even harder on the little one when her mother is gone and her sister is always mean to her. Please give her this talk. Please I was in a close sitation to this but I was the older sister I was doing the same thing to my little sister now she is in the wrong crowd, doing drugs, having sex and I do blame myself. Don't let it go that far step in now. It's good you do show concern. I really would have her talk to somebody...Hope this is some help..

she is a teenage girl- she has hormones raging- i'm sure some anger and confusion over her mom. just try to pick your battles and she will grow out of this.

Get counseling for her -- it's really tough for a kids to be without a mom. It's possible her anger is not inherited, but is due to the fact she has lost her mom.

She's need professional help. You likely will as well to learn how to parent her more effectively through her problems.

Good luck.

Well I know personally I was like that alot as a teenager myself but I eventually got over it by the time I was in the last year or 2 of highschool so it may just be a phase she's going through. If your really worried about her try talking to her. Don't be opinionated or upset just listen. Hope this helps good luck

You need to find something she really enjoys.
Sign her up for something, dance, swimming,
something. She just may need a little more attention
right now. There are alot of things for kids to do.
Take a art class, Photography class, volunteer at a
shelter, Give her some responsiblility for something.
You didn't say how old your daughters were.

yeah, i have an older sister and when we were little she would beat the living s*** out of me.

but no worries we are friends now. =)
