Answer 1

Discipline. You could take away something she enjoys doing. You cannot let her get away with it, or you will loose control, and that's just the way it will be. I'm not saying, bring wrath down upon her...but you have to let her know who is in controll.

Answer 2

it's that phase.

let her understand that you deeply care for her

and talk to her one on one, with no screaming or yelling involved

try to get more closer to your daughter, talking about personal lives, but also respecting hers at the same time

let her know that you support her

and even when things don't make sense, try to understand what she's going through

Answer 3

Be strict with discipline but back it up with lots of love.  I've raised two daughters that way and it worked.  They also could be lazy and hard headed, but they are now wonderful 24 and 25 year old adults.  Good luck.

Answer 4

deprive her of the things she loves - but only the ones you and your parents bought her: phone, ipod, car, etc. and ground her.

i'm 17 but i still hate 2 see a teen acting up, it makes us all look bad.

Answer 5

This is a hard one, I agree with consequences, but at that age they might threaten something else like running away or something like that. I say offer her a prize or to earn some money for helping out. Prizes like allowance. If she gets one don't give it to her unless she works for it. She will want money eventually and that will work, if she watches tv take it away and video games take them away too and let her earn those back. Also like the other lady said take her cell away too and her computer. If she has nothing to occupy her time then she will have to do something else...try positive allowance reinforcement and see if that works. Good luck on that one.

Answer 6

do what my sister did to me

she took away my cell phone

she took away my ipod

and my computer

and i wasent allowed to go anywhere

lol now im older but what she did worked

but now i pay for my cell phone and i baught a new ipod and a laptop

i got a job

Answer 7

Does she have consequences for not doing what is asked of her?  I'm sure she has a cell phone, take it away from her until she does what she's asked...
