And is taking it out on everyone around her....us!!!
Dd age 16 is usually a happy go lucky fun loving and calm relaxed. She’s very polpular, always on the phone, going out with friends. Is also super helpful at home, offering to help in the kitchen gives me a hand by bed time.
The past week she’s been a nightmare. She misses her social life like crazy. Her school started their long distance learning which they haven’t been on top of until now. It’s 7 hours daily of phone lectures where she listens and sits and takes notes. She shares a room with a little sister and she’s bickering with her all day. The yelling that comes from their room is enough to call child services. Today she was holed up in her room doing her work, didn’t see her all day. If any of the kids make noise outside the room shes in the she starts going nuts, yelling at everybody. She doesn’t seem to have downtime, forget about helping out at all.
Dh and I told her we understand it’s hard to be out of school, without her friends, but she needs to accept the situation as it is and deal with it. Yelling at her parents and siblings won’t get her out of the house, it will just make life more miserable for everyone. She does try to go on walks but the weather needs to work out and she needs the time.
How do I deal with this? It’s wreaking havoc on an otherwise chaotic but peaceful household.

Definitely don't force her to do all 7 hours. That's a lot.

Oh gosh 7 hours of phone lessons? That alone is enough to drive you insane.
No advice I'm just glad I'm not in school anymore!

Wow! 7 hours is intense!!
She needs to take a break. Make up
With a friend that one will take one class the other another and swap notes.
And take walks! Get out the room and breath.
But yes we’re all struggling it’s rough.
