I have a teenage daughter that is out of control. Does anyone have any ideas?

Sit her down and tell her what behavior is unacceptable and what the consequences are for that behavior. Then be very, very consistent. Mean what you say; say what you mean.

The best punishment I've found for my teen boys is cleaning jobs. If they are disrespectful, they immediately get a job - vaccum all carpet, mop all tile, clean all mirrors, pull all weeds, etc.

I also take things like cell phones, xBox, etc. when they continue a bad behavior.

If she has any idols or people that she admires, find out about them.

Perhaps you could find something strange about them that they enjoy like, archery for instance and suggest she take it up.

Just an idea, maybe if she is enjoying something then she will be a little happier and not feel he need to be disrespectful.

Try and talk to her but don't force it or snoop, that will just make her madder!

If you can find out something that you both can talk about then she might have some new found respect for you.

Invent friends who have kids who behave exactly like her and casually say how they punish them, she may be scared that you're getting ideas!

But don't let on that they're not real, and make sure they aren't real otherwise she may find out that you're lying about the punishment and then she will say that it's not okay for you to do that.

Lol, this is a long answer. Hope it helped, even a teeeny bit hehe. Good luck

I had the same problem with my 16 year old son. I did something most people can't do. We lived in Florida and I packed everything up in our house and we all went to live with my dad and his wife and their two kids (20 and 17) in Georgia. After we lived there for 4 months he realized what he had and wanted to move back to Florida so badly. He missed his friends, his freedom, his old life, his job, and his school. So to make a long story short we moved back to Florida a couple of weekes ago and he is a totally different child. He realizes now what he has! He is respectful now and I can actually carry on a conversation with him.

Lock her in the basment till she is at least 25. Make sure you dont forget to feed her and give her baby wipes so she can at least try to get clean. maybe if shes good you can take her to the park so she can have a little sun and fresh air, but if she starts acting up it back to the basement for her.

Ur daughter in a way find her identity, guide her,may be via her idola e.g film star.

it sounds like me when i was younger and my mum gave me plenty of consequences i just didnt really care but i never did the bad stuff like drugs and smoking and i didnt start drinking till i was 16 u just need to try and talk to her and tell her shell get more respect from you if she gies you more respect and shell get more privelages aswell

ground her fir a week anytime she does soimething disrespectful every single time even if it's minor. No friends, no TV, no computer adventually she'll get the idea and will get better

when she is disrespectful she should face some consequences. take away privleges. things like time on the computer, talking on the phone, hanging out with her friends, or anything that is important to her. when i was a teen there was a year in highschool that i kind of developed a disrespectful attitude towards my parents. after a few times of losing my car, and not being able to hang out with my freinds i adjusted my attitude.

ground her and take things away from her until she learns responsibility. i know when i was 14 thats what my mom would have done to me.

If you have tried being nice and being the better person? When I was a smart mouth my parents finally stopped trying to be the nice ones, and they started treating me like I treated them. I didn't like it so I changed. Plus I realized what I was doing.
