[QUOTE="Andy, post: 160114, member: 5096"] How old is the boyfriend? I think 14 yrs old is too young to have a boyfriend but I know many parents think it is o.k. so no judging on this one. If boyfriend is older, that would mean that he is having some privledges that your daughter is not ready for (later curfews, more freedoms, ect.). She is rebelling over natural "I am old enough to do what I want" as well as "I should be able to do whatever boyfriend wants me to do. If he wants me out late then I should be able to stay out late" sort of things. How does boyfriend do in school? If it is not important to him, he is leading her into her disrepectful attitude toward school. 14 is toward the beginning of the years that kids really think they can take care of themselves 100%. It is natural for them to start pulling away from (or should I say pushing back) parents, however, since your daughter's seperation seems faster and deeper than you feel is normal, I would look at the influence of boyfriend and other friends.
