where can i send my teenage daughter for a "wake-up"call?

Question

16 year old daughter on crash course of self destruction

Answer 1

Boot camp, women's shelters, soup kitchens, rehab, juvie hall...

Take her there yourself, interview girls her age and let them give her advice. Let them scare the crap out of her.

Have her volunteer at shelters, kitchens, etc so she can see what life could be like if she continues on her path.

Worst case scenario, send her to boot camp.

Answer 2

Hi,

This sounds like the common cry of a parent in distress...

And it could equally apply to a son or a daughter...

One source of help is the "life skills education" courses that the Salvation Army and other places run.

Try and see if you can find one.. there is a link below or you might 'google' life skills education and get a more local source.

If you believe in God try prayer...

regards

Peter

Answer 3

Here's something that worked for me and my teenage son;

Ask for her advice. Tell her about a big problem that you are currently having that could affect the family. Examples would be Employer may lay you off or you are thinking of having an affair. It needs to be something shocking but it needs to be true.

Most teens feel that no one understands them and their problems are unique. Once they understand that everyone else has problems as well and that they may be able to help others, they become a little less self centered.

Answer 4

depends on what the real problems are,teens go thru things,more now then when u were young,they have much more to deal with,if u really love her,i suggest a lil 1-1 time,make her your friend,be supportive,communication,u have to create some respect from her! good luck!!
