I have a 16 year old whom is not happy and wants to leave home because she wants to be grown. She is being disobeident sometimes and sometimes has attitude. I've been doing the best I know how to keep the peace in my home and with her. She does not want to get up in the morning for school, she does not want to study for her test and she does not want to do her homework. I get her whatever I can from time to time but she is still not happy and she keeps asking for more things which at that point I do not get them because of her disrespectful behavior. When I mention to her about an attitude, she threaten me and said she is going to leave if I keep telling her about her attitude. I am a Christian and I am trying to please GOD with the work that I do. I am the child's Legal Guardian and I do love her and care for her but it is very stressful and I am very concerned about this. I do not know where she wants to go or what she expects from me. I am a single parent and from I do really feel like giving up but I am strong and I refuse to give up or give in. She does not like to hear No but I still say No when I have to and explain why I am saying No. I am tired and I am waiting on my answer from GOD to tel me what to do. In the meantime, do you have any suggestions as to what type of discipline and/or consequence this child needs?
