I think you said she was 12 or 13? Have you just talked to her about it? She's certainly old enough to have a serious conversation about it. Perhaps ask her why she's not respecting you. She might just tell you why. She may use it as an opportunity to try and hurt your feelings, but if she does just tell her that she did. Does she dsee you as impervious or does she realize you are sensitive?
