Why do teenagers act up in school n not normally at home?

I have a teenager that is acting up in school. I need to know what goes thru the mind of a teenager when she does certain things at school that she shouldn't be doing? What do i have to do to avoid it?Why do teenagers act up in school n not normally at home?
Two words, ';Peer Pressure';. They don't want to be the ';Geek';, ';Teacher's Pet';, ';Nerd';, ';Goody Two Shoes';, or other titles that the other kids will put on them for showing a cooperative attitude. They are at an age where being rejected and ridiculed by their peers is worse then having a dentist do 10 root canals in one day, and, even though down deep they may know they are acting childish and inappropriately, the fear of rejection overrules any ability to independently think and act for themselves.Why do teenagers act up in school n not normally at home?
Teenagers do this to try to act cool and to try look cool in front of others especially the ones that encourage them to do it or also get into a lot of trouble. Some teens are attention hungry because they know they are going to catch attention from the other kids. No one really knows what each and every single teen has going on in their brain. You should sit down with your teen and explain the consequences she will go through in the near future because she is acting like this, like she might not go to college,not being able to get her dream job, etc. And if she doesn't care, explain to her the consequences she will get from you!( like grounding, etc.)


Hope you like my advice!
You don't say what she's doing? Teenagers are figuring out how to act and who to be without their parents. Some acting out is normal and expected. I'm not sure what your hoping to avoid? If it is something dangerous than my answer would be different. You can only guide her through these years. If your really concerned see a therapist together. People generally feel safer talking to a mediator.
peer pressure dude


im 13 and my class is like the hell hole of peer pressure


cuz one kid starts to act up then someone else folos cuz they think it sooooo cool then the whole class is doin it.


just tell your kid that bein popular ist so grreat and not to be a follower
Actually it could be argued the other way too.


But the reason why it might be so is because doesn't have a parent guiding her at school and telling her what she can and cannot do.


If she's not clear with that you need to talk to her about it.


Good luck!
it's most likely her friends or maybe you haven't been giving her much attention at home? You should talk to her about it.
She is at the most critical point in their social life . She's trying to fit in . Spend more time with her talk make jokes but don't flirt with the line between friend and parent.
cuz school sucks
