[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 119210, member: 59"] Some kids are born with a defiant personality, as was mine, and she acted very much like your daughter at that age. No one could tell her anything, she would do what she wanted to do and if we tried to stop her in any way she raged and destroyed anything in her path. We had the same "dating" issues and we did everything we could to make sure it didn't happen until she was mature enough to handle it. Even with all our vigilance she managed to get together with a neighbor boy who introduced her to drugs and they had sex at the age of 14. We filed unruly charges on her and she was ordered to stay away from this boy. He eventually ended up in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC), only to be pulled out after 6 months by his parents, and continues to this day to be involved in drugs and alcohol and corrupting young women. It won't last forever. I know it seems like a lifetime now but the years will pass. Do what you can to keep her safe, even if it means filing charges for unruliness. t some point she will mature. My difficult child did and she tells people now that she was so stupid to do what she did with that boy. We had a lot of different boy issues at age 13, she was attracted to the risky ones. We spent every minute of every day keeping tabs on her and checking to make sure she was where she said she would be. We called parents, drove to where she said she was, dragged her away from parties, threatened to call the police on any boy who violated our rules or kept her whereabouts hidden from us. I would not want togo back to thatage for all the tea in china. Good luck. Nancy [/QUOTE]
