[QUOTE="Jena, post: 216789, member: 4514"] It was an interesting post, and not soo long LOL. So, welcome klmno is right today is a little slow yet as the day progresses more members will come in and give you some helpful advice. This site is a tremendous source of support and ideas when parentings our "difficult child's". So, the teenage years I have learned can be quite trying indeed, from my own experience alot of lying does infact go on. They are battling between adhering to our rules and also finding themselves and their own sudden need for independence and a seperate existance from "us", the dreaded parents lol. With that being said, my daughter who is now going to be 16 shortly has behaved in some similar ways that you have listed. There is alot of drama with girls I find, friendships, boyfriends, etc. When my daughter was 13 i too was in total shock at the sudden change of behaviors, attitude, etc. I'm learning I have to constantly change my approach towards my daughter as she grows. So, she hasn't had any type of evaluations as of yet, right? I saw that you wrote that she talks to you and there seems to be open communication. That is great by the way, even if details are left out. I think you have to expect that, total honesty from a teeanger is just not going to happen. LOL at least not in my little world :) So, you seem to do as I do take possessions away when she does something wrong, right?? Than she has to earn them back? I also do not like myspace, yet I as you have my daughter's log in so i check the account periodically to make sure it's "clean" and I also have it set to private. Ok i'll wait for you to write back.
