She talks back and disrespects me and her stepfather. She hits her 7 years old brother and calls him names. She hasn't admitted it but I know that she steals things. She also lies to me about everything. I'm so worried that she is headed down the wrong road in life. She is only 12 and she is very in to boys...older boys. She was born a very sick baby and has been hospitalized 20 times in just 12 years, she was also molested by a 40 year old man when she was 7. b/c of these things I tend to let her slide on a few things. But I really want to put my foot down and say enough is enough. But the first that comes after is more than my nerves can handle. I don't even know how to handle it. So what type of punishment is right for a 12 year old girl. please help.

When our daughter was 12.she was the same way,disrespectful,lying,sassing back,stealing,etc and we tried everything but nothing worked.Then the one sunday in may,some friends of ours who had a daughter who was 13 at the time,made her First Communion and we went to her party that after noon.The girl was in her poofy,top of the knees,communion dress and veil with lace anklets and the white shoes,and i noticed that when she would sit just right,i could see that she had cloth diapers and rubberpants on under her dress.I asked her mom about them,and she told me that she was wearing them as punishment for her acting up,etc and told me that she is made to wear the diapers and rubberpants as punishment and that they embarrass her and she straightens out.I told her about our daughter and her behavior and she told me to get cloth diapers and rubberpants and make her wear them.So i got the cloth diapers,diaper pins and several pair of rubberpants and when the daughter acted up a short time later,the husband and i took her to her room and made her put the diapers and rubberpants on and wear them for a day.She was surprised by having to wear them and we told her that if she is going to act like a toddler,then she will wear diapers and rubberpants!She she has had to wear them,her attitude has changed for the better and now she realizes we mean business!
