Answer: Dear Darius, Well 12 year olds get angry.
Don’t let her anger control you. Don’t engage in her anger by getting angry back or allowing it to upset you. Ask her what she is so afraid of as anger is often and cover for either fear or loss.
It maybe she finds older children more accepting of her than children her own age. Is she having trouble making friends at school? If so then her talking about the why is important for both of you.
Best Wishes!
