My cousin and I have been close ever since we were little. We are about 5 years apart age wise. She's 14 and I'm now 19. As of late she's been kinda withdrawing from the family and hanging out with the wrong crowd. Her parents and my grandma have been fighting (we are second cousins and her mother says that our grandma treats me better than her(the mom) (.. thats the main problem). I see her about once every 5 months now (I usually have my uncle come pick me up and we go over to her house), and we don't even talk. I try to say "hi" now and then... via myspace or facebook, and she won't even respond, yet she responds to all her other friends/relatives?
She's very rude when I try to IM her and start a conversation.. and I'm fearing that between the fighting in the family and her "cool" friends (they're the popular clique who like to get drunk and cause trouble late at night/sneaking out) she's going to get in trouble... what can I do? Talking doesn't get us anywhere.

if talking doesnt work, let her do whatever she wants, and when she get the consequence of her action, she will realize that what she did was wrong.
sometimes,some people shud learn from their experience to know what's good and what's not

I'm afraid it's growing pains. Honestly, when was the last time you've met a perfectly well-adjusted, reasonable, amiable 14-year old girl? "I know a friend whose daughter..." is not a valid response. I meant someone you know directly as a friend (or in this case, a cousin). Take away the family problems and your cousin still sounds like a common 14-year old girl.
