my daughter is a wise-a$$ and she swears at me alot.
i want to show her who's boss and place her in boot-camp for a year.
in the boot camp you do thousands of pushups, crunches, squats, leglifts, tons of running, biking, and swimming every day.
you eat 2-3 times per day.
and, in the boot-camp, you only get 7 hours of sleep each night
the pamphlet says "when the kids finally return back home, they'll never disrespect you ever again."

OK, I went to military school for one year. The only good thing about it was I went home at night. The problem was that the school took kids that were bullies and put them in charge of the other kids. The kids who lived there had lives that were hell.
Now, exercise should be a positive influence in her life. If they force it upon her, she will never exercise again. And, she will come home angrier than ever.
You do not want your daughter to fear you. You want her to respect you.
Respect is earned by everyone. Not achieved thru fear or "I am in charge" management.
Join a gym, Go every week. Take your daughter. Get a personal trainer for both. As both of you learn to exercise, your stress levels will drop, you both will get stronger and healthier. Your endorphins will rise, and the two of you will find something fun you can do together. AND she will meet a lot of strong, confident and kind guys.

Well it certainly couldn't hurt her physically,and physical discipline teaches mental discipline, but you are the best one to know what she should do and it could be a bit extreme. I don't necessarily agree with one of the comments that she will resent you for the rest of your life. It really depends on how she was raised and what led to her being this belligerent and disrespectful in the first place !! If you have a good foundation as Mother and Daughter, then this could work.

If your intentions are good, and you're doing it out of love for her, then it would be an opportunity. Some kids are easier to raise than others, so you would be doing her a favor, and would be guiding her to be successful. On the other hand, if you are doing it to teach her a lesson; she may resent it, and could also resent you in the end. Something else to think about ... 14 is awful young.

I have seen where this helps for some and not for others. Some come back changed and some come back with just short term attitude adjustments. You might try an out reach program. We almost sent our 14 year old there. The one we have is in Indiana called Teen Outreach located in Lebanon Indiana. It's is a Christian campus. They go to school there, live, eat and breath there. They also get one on one couseling. Just a thought but is the cheapest around.
Email me if you want. I have been through the trials: scatteredbrain4life@yahoo.com

If you decide to send her, make sure it isn't immediately after you've had a fight. When she's at her best, do you still think it's a good idea? If so, then go for it (you're the boss!)...but a year sounds a little steap...how about 4 or 6 months?

It may work or it may make her hate you forever. Why not send her to a self reliance camp instead? They take kids into wilderness areas and it makes them learn to help others and rely on themselves more. She will see how easy she has it at home and that she has someone who cares about her.
There are similar programs that send kids to work on farms. Life is tough and they need to learn that.

I think it is a great idea, especially since she swears at you a lot. I would definitely send her, BUT make it a point to never swear at her. I demand that my daughter age 15 never swears at me, but I as well never swear at her either.

No, There has to be another way. Take her phone, TV, games, comp. away. I know someone that went there, it was a big mistake.
