Subject: teenager being so angry

Question
QUESTION: I have a 16 yr old daughter.  This past year she has got really angry, she crys alot, she lies all the time, and she more or less does what she wants.  I do not know what to do..  She does not listen to myself or her father.

ANSWER: Dear Mia,

Wow your question is going to take some time to help you with but I will be more then happy to do so. what first needs to be worked on is finding out of course what is causing her negative behaviour. and so, the way to do this will be a process of elemination. let me ask you this, has she recently broke up with a boyfriend or something?

Like I said, since I don't have enough info on her, I will need you to fill in the blanks so that I can help you better.

---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------

QUESTION: Donna,  No she has not broke up with a boyfriend, but she has been under alot of pressure with school.  She blows off the handle at any little thing. I think she need to see someone and she even agreed, but after I may the appointment she would not go...  I just do not no if this is teenage rebellion or is something else going on..

Answer
ok, now I can see what you are saying. if it's school then that is understandable. especially if where you live school is about to end and having her finals and all, of course that would put pressure on her. there could be a problem between her and another student that perhaps she has not talked over with you yet. I know that my kids here have had those types of problems before and i always tell them to talk it out with the other kids and if that can't be achieved, then we have what we call a conference here at our home with whoever it is they have the problem with.

it is possible that she and I hate to say this, but it is possible that someone she knows could have done something with her against her consent and that she is so angry about this that she is taking it out on everyone at home. that might explain why she is refusing to go to the doctor....I hope not, but just from what you have told me, it's sounds like that could be what lies underneath the surface.
