[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 96817, member: 1545"] While this is extremely frustrating - it does sound a lot like normal teenage behavior. Just a question for you to consider - do you tend to micromanage your daughters life? (I know I did - and it caused real issues). When my daughter was having difficulties in middle school I remember one of her teachers (whom I had tremendous respect for) telling me that it was OK to "hover" over school responsibilities to some degree. But, the goal should be to be completely pulled away by the time she reached high school. IE: If I knew my daughter had a report due, it was ok to micromanage somewhat in middle school. By high school she was suggesting that I shut my mouth and let daughter worry about the project. If she didn't do it - it was her problem. She faced the consequences. What I found was that when I backed off, daughter was forced to pick up the ball and run with it. May be worth considering. [/QUOTE]
