[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 223296, member: 3626"] Well, I may as well jump into the fray. Sorry, but she sounds like a typical teen, up to and including the lying, manipulation, etc. Yes, there are some good teens but even good teens pull their stunts. Not sure why you think oral sex is demeaning or yucky, it's a sexual act. The problem is that a lot of teens don't think it is "having sex" because it isn't "real" intercourse and, of course, the girl can't get pregnant. Of course, she can get STDs in the mouth (now, that's a YUCK), cancer of the throat, all kinds of yucky things. There is little without risk nowadays. I'm with the majority, though. I'm not sure what you think a boarding school will accomplish. It certainly won't stop the manipulation, lying, sexual activity, etc. About the only thing it will stop is you knowing about it right away. If you mean an Residential Treatment Center (RTC), that's a whole different ball of wax and makes a boarding school seem dirt cheap. If she's truly out of control, then an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) might be the answer. If she's being a typical teen more on the wild side, then some serious home intervention might be the answer. I do agree that she's being a total brat, but most girls her age are. One thing you can do to make her really miserable is go out on a date with your boyfriend again and hire a babysitter for HER. Let your little one do an overnighter with a friend, so there's no doubt who is being babysat. She's proving to be immature enough to break the very basic rules of the house and try to manipulate you in the process. She deserves the humiliation. Grounding is a definite and absolutely no alone time with her boyfriend for at least a month. I know it hurts but she really isn't doing anything that unusual for today's society. Kids do lie to their parents so they can do what they want. Once the hormones start, common sense; empathy for adults; consideration for parents goes right out the window. Also, don't be surprised if she throws in your face that you're living with your boyfriend, so there's no reason she can't do the same. It is a very sharp sword she has there. Good luck in finding something that works (besides maturity). [/QUOTE]
