Alot happend to females at that age. You were 13. For females, they start to crush on guys, they want to look nice, they want to go places, they have periods, they are interested in kissing boys and sad to say, some start having sex...It's great that a father like you want to be there for her! Just try to be her best friend by helping her out and hearing her out. Don't try to pry her or push her into something that she don't want to talk about or do. Just be there for her.

Do you have a similar interest like a tv programme or music? You could discuss this to start with - my daughter is 14 and I have a good relationship but they all think we are prying! It's a tough age. Girls in particular as they have lots of surging hormones. Try to be indirect and gently tease information out of her - what has she done at school - plenty of praise works well too. My daughter opens up most when we do something she gets a buzz from like ice skating or shopping! Oh and always remember the little things she says about the things she likes etc. this shows that you are listening to her.

Hmmm. Well if you do have a 13 year old daughter... you just need to treat her as an equal, in some respects. Just let her know you respect her needs and understand that the teenage years aren't going to be easy. I think it would be best if you had a good open form of communication...and so tell her that. Tell her that you don't ever want he to be afraid to come to you with anything and that you're always there for her if she needs you but that you don't want to pry. I think simply telling her that would make a major impact.

Plan with your daughter a good day for you two to have a special day together where you two spend some quality time together. Like every Tuesday you two go to dinner or see a movie. I think this quality time will make your daughter open up and share with you things that happen in her life.

First, learn to spell and talk. No matter what she tells you, she really does want to talk. Just cautiously and casually approach the topic and ask how school is going. Start slow, you don't want her to get overwhelmed. After a week or two, start talking to her more. Eventually she'll learn to enjoy talking to you freely. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT! She's only 13 and this is a very awkward and stressful time for any girl that age. Take it easy and slow. She's your daughter, I'm sure she'll talk.

just ask you are her parent even if she says that she doe's not like you for prying right now she will thank you when she grows up. at thirteen no matter what you say she will think you are prying. so just ask away.

I know you dont want to hear this, but there is really no Good way to try and find out whats going on in her life without her thinking you dont trust her, or your being nosy. Just because she is 13!! The only good answer would be is to sit down with her and ask her, but we all know that it only works in the movies! LOL GOOD LUCK SWEETIE!~

PRY! She is 13 she will get over it. Trust me, do not pull any punches when it comes to your kids.

Spend time with her doing things she likes to do and talk to her casually about everything. This develops trust. Also, if you think something is wrong or inappropriate bring it up as something you've heard other kids are doing. Ask her opinion and really listen to her.
Compliment her intelligence whenever she displays it and encourage her to think for herself. Tell her about the women you admire and that you like their independence. Compliment the friends she has that display the characteristics you value.
Most of all, develop your relationship over time and laugh with her as much as possible. All of this will lay the groundwork for her opening up to you.

Go out and do things with her. Take her out bowling or for lunch and ask her about what she likes to do. Be honest with her. Let her know you want to be there for her and her happiness is important to you. Tell her that you want to have an open relationship with her and that you want to know whats going on in her life. A teenager won't tell her father EVERYTHING, that's obvious, but tell her you care about her and that should be reassuring enough.
