out of control - 2006/11/09 21:36 I really dont know where to begin, but I have to start somewhere. I have a 14 year old daughter that is just disrespectful, and uncaring. She does not care about rules that are put on her or any consequences for her actions. She has become an emotional reck and blows up about everything. For example, when asked to not do something or when told to get out of bed, she just ignores me and does what she wants anyways. She will scream and yell until I feel like the neighbors are gonna call the police. When she is told no about anything it gets worse and just yesterday she told me to shut up and mind my own business. WHAT? I dont know where to begin to fix this and I feel like she is just an uncaring brat. I am to the point to where I dont even like my own child. ANy advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re:out of control - 2006/11/12 20:30 First of all, know this—you are not alone concerning what you are experiencing with your 14yr old daughter. The type of scenario you described is a situation which is common to parents of teenagers who are going through adolescence. Rebellion and disrespect towards a parent are not uncommon for adolescents. But of course if you are at a point where you feel that it’s just getting harder to even like your child, this definitely means that something should be done. Sometimes fighting rebellion with more discipline can just end up in an explosion. What may be most appropriate for this scenario is have your teenager talk with a counselor, to help her realize how wrong her treatment of her parents is. Mediation can also be considered as an option. It is definitely hard to reason with a teenager who clearly does not want to listen to the correct ideas “right” in her head. So seek help if needed.
