Sounds like she is being a typical teen but idk.  Have you considered having her talk to a counselor? Kids usually have a hard time opening up to parents b/c they will be judged etc.  Have a conversation with her and ask her what's going on b/c you are worried etc.  If there is no communication or she seems to not want to talk ask her if she would like to talk to someone else. At 13 hormones are all over the place.  Hopefully she is not being bullied but the only way you would know is to ask. hth

Don't let her out of the house until she straightens up.  No phone computer tv also.

Honey, start the clog dancing because the girl is playing you like a fiddle. You are getting a heaping helping of teen angst and manipulation. Teenagers think denying them the right to socialize and communicate with their friends is child cruelty. She needs to be reminded of how much she needs you. Take away her cell, net, and time with friends and she will straighten up pretty quick. Let her pout. She doesnt have to like anything you say or do but she does have to do it anyway.

Stupid question but are these outbursts regularly timed or all the time?  My teen did this for about a week a month (still does) and I believe it is PREPMS because she hasn't started yet.

Sounds like you have tried almost everything.  Just let her know you love her, but be firm in letting her know ugly behavior will not be tolerated.  If she mouths off, tell her to try again.  Do y'all enjoy the same music, movie tastes, etc most of the time?  Maybe some together time would help.
