My 16 year old daughter has a horrible behavior problem. I have 3 kids and she is the youngest. She dosent pay attention in class her grades are terrible I just found out she has been sleeping around with older men. And she getts in fights at school. This all started about 2 or 3 months after her 14 birthday. She was always intelligent and bright and i just cant pull that girl out of her now. But i do no that she will not get better if i kick her out or hit her. It will make things worse so this is what im doing and her behavior is beging (begning) to slightly change. First i brought her curfue from 11:45 pm to 9:00 pm. If she is not home she must sit at the kitchen tabel and write 250 times what she did wrong and what is suppost to to (I was late for curfue and I am suppost to be home on time i will not do it again) And she dose not have a door to her bedroom. She dose not have a cell phone anymore. And her computer time is watched while she is on by either me or her father. Her facebook acount got cancled and so did her teenspot and myspace. Me and her father go in and have confrinces with her princibal and techaers and counclers every week. She is starting to realize that i am not playing around with her any more. This has worked for my trouble making bright intelligent child and i hope that i will work for yours. But just rember YOU MUST STICK WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAY NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!

Re: For all of you overwellmed parents
Good job pierccr0450 you found a way to make it work in your house. Unfortunately it took more than that for. My daughter was very talented and outgoing, had a promising life and still does because I believe our life steps are ordained by the man above. Anyway my daughter began her tirad around the same as yours; age 14. She disrepected herself with men and did everything she could to tear my heart right ourtof its socket. By the grace of God just when I thought I was going to loose my daughter to death, overdose or something equally horrific, she came home to me preganant. Dont get me wrong I thought I would die when I heard the news but little do we know there is a blessing in every traumatic experience. My grand daughter changed her life. She made my daughter stand up and straighten up! My daughter is 22 years old today and I am assisting with raising my grand daughter. You know what - yes my daughter had a child at an early age but she is here with her family and acting like a mature young adult. She is going to school to become a graphic designer and will earn a degree in another year. Glory be thy name! The future is looking brighter and brighter for my daughter, her child and me for that matter. I am also raising four more teenagers. The moral of this story is there is light at the end of all dark and dreary tunnels. Good luck to you and thanks for sharing your story.

its would be usually easier to prevent a child wander in wrong direction/mix with unhealthy "friends"/get into bad habits.

If your daughter had permission to be out, what was she lying to you about? Maybe having a job is a good idea it will keep her busy and you will surely know where she is at? It will give her some responsibility.
