Insult for a Book Instead of B*tch

Hi guys! I'm writing a book and I need a good insult. A particularly nasty character (not a villain, just a jerk - think Peter from Divergent) is insulting my FMC.

As it is both tribal and geared for a younger audience, I want to avoid using b*tch. But I need something equally spiteful and sexist/derogatory. Here's the pertinent part of the sentence:

"...the shame of being a rebellious b*tch."

Help! I don't want it to sound cheesy. I would use crone or hag, but she's a teenager, so it didn't make sense. 😅
