Answer 3

Welcome to the onset of puberty.  

My guess is that this is an attempt at individualism & self expression.  Consider other outlets.

Are they active in sport?  Music?  Dance?  Art?  Try one of those so they can express their thoughts more positively.  I'd also watch their associates very closely and do as you should with all kids:  reward positive behavior, reprimand / punish bad behavior.

The fighting, the loudness, the manipulative ways are typical behavior.  The bad mouths-- that I have very little tolerance for.  But that's just me.  Chose your battle, prioritize which habits you want to break first and work on them one by one.

Answer 5

have you tried enrolling them in a martial arts program so they can let out their anger? maybe if you enroll them each in a different activity they wont be as much trouble when they are apart and they can develop their own unique personality.

if you threaten to punish them say by taking away a privilege or making them go bed earlier or something, follow through with it.
