It does sound as though you need to be quietly persistant in trying to get some support for you and your daughter. As has been already said your daughter is acting out something in her life...and is very angry about it.

My youngest daughter who I often fondly refer to as my high management child west through a particularly difficult time when she was about 10. One of the things which apart from talking to the school, your doctor and any other professsional body is to try to get her to express how she feels.

We bought my daughter a nice journal and wrote in all the things we liked about her. I think we may have gently questioned some of her behaviours and certainly our worries for her. She was a little younger than your daughter but it really helped her. She would then write in how she was feeling - which we could respond to.

She used to look at all the positive comments often. Just a thought....something maybe to try while you track down some support for you and your daughter.
