Parenting Teenagers (12-18) Support Group

Is she still in high school? If so I would try to tuff it out with her. At 18 or after she graduates from High school I say if she can't follow the simple rules then out she should go. I also think that unless she's in college she should help pay bills. But that's just me. Good luck.

She is still in highschool and will be for another year. I did kick her out last night and im sure she is at her friends house. I feel if she is going to stand in from of me and caurse at me like an adult would then it is time to leave. An example of the cursing is.... She called me a f***ing hypocrit, f***ing stupid, and a bitch.... all because i told her she couldnt stay at her friends house during the week while school was in session anymore. Well she got her way. But unfortunatly when she is ready to come home ill be saying no. And i hope she has lunch money for school because i wont be supplying that either.

I'm convinced that they're so used to talking like that around their friends that they don't even realize they're doing it. NO excuse for it though. I go through the same thing, but mine is closer to 16 than 18. Stay strong, but she is probably better off at home than with friends.

Your probably right and ofcourse ill let her come home. But not till she realizes what she has lost. I was so shocked to hear that coming from her. I thought she was possessed.

I with jody on this one.
17 is a tuff age. They think they know it all.

I can handle them thinking they know it all. Im fine with some attitude. But i cant handle being cursed at like that by my child.

It is so hard to kick out a child. We just kicked out 18 year old out as he was emotionally abusing his little brother. J is not out of high school yet and I dont know where he is. It is so scary....

My best friend has an out of control 17 year old that will be 18 June 3rd, who also has a one year old baby. In our state a parent under 18 is in the custody of thier parent until 18. I dont know about other states though...

I know it's hard, but noone said it would be easy or nice. At least she does have a friend (I hope the friend lives with her parents though so she has some kind of supervision). The last thing you want is her staying with a friend that's holder then coming back home pregnant. Good luck. It IS hard.

If you can just hold out until she is out of school and of age she can go anywhere she wants. hat includes finding a place to live where she can act the way she is now. What she will find out is, others will not tolerate that behavior.
Also at the point of her being of ageyou can set down the law, if you can't abide by my rules then you need to find your own place.
