[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 273400, member: 6705"] Wow. Sounds like difficult child 1, medications aside. Hair dyed black and in her eyes, black skinny jeans, tank tops and a huge zip-up hoodie. LOTS of really pale foundation including on her lips and way, way too much black eyeliner. Listens to "screamo" music. Talks back a LOT. We had a bottle of about 25 27-mg Concerta vanish about 6 weeks ago. Tore apart both kids' rooms, could not find it. Doesn't mean it isn't there, just that we're not looking in the right place. What can you do? Err... Not much, I'm afraid. However. "No respect - no privileges". (Stole this from another CD board person!) Keep the cell and laptop until she can prove she is mature enough to handle them. A week to start, if she keeps up the 'tude, make it longer - and tell her that's what you will do. Don't worry about the clothes and hair and makeup. I did similar when in jr. high & high school - only it was a lot of blue eyeliner and eyeshadow with my black clothes. This will resolve itself eventually. As long as what she is wearing doesn't morally offend you, it's all good. Let her shop at Goodwill for a while - Hollister & Abercrombie are going out of fashion anyway. The behavior needs an adjustment, and the "no respect - no privileges" [I]may[/I] get through. Or not. But whatever you do, [I]don't argue about it[/I] - you are the parent. Your home, your rules. And good luck. I'm sending you lots of hugs! [/QUOTE]
