Adolescent - March 2007

I think I'm a fairly good parent but I just can't seem to resolve this problem. I've tried stopping her money, I've tried taking her mobile phone off of her for a week at a time, I've tried grounding her, I've tried telling her what its doing to her health and nothing seems to get through. Help!

Our son is a good kid when he wants to be. with that said... It is to the point that he only listens when he wants to. He won't do chores, he won't do anything when asked unless he is "made" - it always has to be huge fight, where he throws a fit (throws stuff, pounds the wall, slams doors, ect...) he won't get up to go to school unless he wants to and has missed several days because of it. He hates school. All he wants to do is play games and be on the computer. We have done everything that we can think of - nothing works. He is so stubborn - spanking doesn't work, stripping his room of his stuff doesn't work, grounding him from everything doesn't work. We follow through with our punishments, he just waits us out and then goes back to the same behavior - when he's under punishment he is on good behavior... we're at a loss - who to turn to and where to get help - we're in the process of having him tested for a learning disability or adhd - what do we do in the mean time?

my boyfriend and i have been going together for over 1 year.and for the first 10 months everything was great and its was pefect. next thing i know i felt like he was not giving me all of his attention.( the reason why.... he was at football practice from 2-5pm.) so i guess i got jealous because i was not the center of his world. so i got attitudes with him made up stuff to get him mad and to get his attention. almost 1 week before our 1 year anniversary he brakes up with me because i was doing him wrong. we got back together 1 week later. now it has been a month since then and i have been doing the same thing agian and i just wont his attention and he is not understanding that. i cant just tell him thats what i wont. but all i wont is his attention. how do i get him to understand that?

I am the parent of a teen parent. My daughter had a child at 15 and the boy is 16. The father has never seen or made an attempt to see the baby. We are filing for guardianship so that our insurance will cover the child. The paternal grandmother is petitioning for visitation. Before court we had no problem letting her come and see the baby. We asked that her son stop harrassing our daughter with calls and such and let her know that if he was interested in seeing the child he would need to call my husband... It has been 3 months and not atttemps have been made. As the maternal grandparents we are fed up with this family. They have lied to me, my husband, my daughter and continue to work against us... Telling our daughter they will let her move in over there and they can just flee to Mexico.. We are sick and tired of it and would love it if the other family would go away... In thinking about the baby... I feel that it is important to know both sides of the family... Help!!

Me and my girlfriend have been dating for almost a year now and wow, let me tell you, shes amazing. I never thought anyone could be in love as much as i once was. But recently, we have been fighting so much, crying and fighting has become part of our everyday lives. She has even punched me in the face a number of times and still, i cant find the strength to tell her we are growing apart. I think one of the reasons im staying with her is the hope that it once will be as good as it once was. I mean i really thought i would spend the rest of my life with this girl and even someday have a baby boy. Please help me somebody. I really do love this girl more that words can explain. But i dont know why anymore...
