i have a 15 yr old daughter(1 out of 4 kids) who is out of control and nothing i try to do is helping. she pretty much is living life by her rules and not ours. i have talked to counselors, the principal, cops have been involved many times, i have either been a pushover or showing tough love and nothing works. im really scared and just wondering if anyone else out there is or has gone through this what has worked for you to straighten your kid up?? i have taken things away, tried grounding, talking, i mean you name it..i need help! thanks

Its-Chelle - 815 days ago yeah i have watched that show, but i cannot believe these kids are transformed within a few days..i have cried watching it because it hits home, same things happen here..

mother649808 - 816 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I don't have teenagers yet but my mom had enough of me at one point lol. There was this place kinda like a juvenile center that she sent me to. Lock door, strict schedule, no access to the outside world except parents and that was only if they come to see u. I don't know if you can maybe research it and see if maybe that's something you can look into. Good luck.

Its-Chelle - 816 days ago i took her phone away and that doesnt phase her anymore, she does smoke pot and im hoping for us to see a counselor but insurance may not cover it, so i have to look around. she doesnt sneak out that i know of, but if im sleeping i dont know, however if i try to ground her, she just walks right out the front door! i hope i find a counselor and that it will help so i can find out what the root of the issues are and try to fix it

RobinG - 816 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) You mentioned you've talk to a couselor but have you both gone to one regularly? My son (hes 14) and I go weekly and it has been a life saver ~ Also raging hormones can also make it worse to watch the time of the month she appears worse. We as adults can get ornary that time of the month yet we forget our kids can too ~ intervention is most important so def seek a counselor again and go weekly (whether she likes it or not) ((hugs))

bee2bee - 816 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Shes 15...Thats why... LOL Well completely take the cell phone, internet access, tvs all entertainment away from her room and make it hard for to get it all back. It seems that those things are important to a young teen now. Oh and make it hard for her to climb out of her window. I was bad for sneeking out of the house at her age. She will be in the phase for awhile to show her you are the ruler of that home and she will do what you say or else.
