Hi Kristi. Would you happen to know what areas of life your daughter is apathetic about?

This behavior can be normal for a young person going through puberty.  Her hormones are changing, sometimes spiking.  
We can make things worse by not understanding that society has moved away from nature.  We transition to adults at a much earlier age than most parents want.  As parents we continue to control and protect, and a new adult does not want to be controlled in every way.  I say this just in case what is needed here is some loosing of the chains.
Give this a little more time and if it does not seem to correct itself by 14, seek some professional help.
