She claims that I don't know nothing about her and her problems.

This is a natural step to independence and sometimes tough on parents who have had close relationships with their children.
Let her know you are there, and are a safe place for her.
You may share some things, and there will be some things that you will not.
Let her grow, this is a way of spreading her wings and solving problems herself, which is healthy.
Be patient. Our relationships with our children change. While some things are lost others will be gained.
Be sure to continue to set clear boundaries - that becomes more primary, but is less fun.

It's really important that she doesn't think you are going to judge her or think she's just being a silly teenager. I worked in a middle school for two years while in college and I will tell you that school is a scary place these days. It would be great to have a mother daughter day. Go do something she likes... have dinner... see a movie... and bring stuff up in the car on the ride home... some of my best conversations with my mom started when I was trapped in a car with her. Just go about it slowly and don't judge or get angry or upset with her. Trust your instincts... if she starts to close off change the subject. Don't snoop behind her back and don't ask her friends. This will just make her trust you less. Good Luck and don't worry this is a common issue in todays world. Like I said school is a scary place these days... she needs to be able to talk to you about it!

Believe her. Advice to you, since I am a parent of adult daughters. It gets harder as they get older. Trust me. If I could do it over, I close my door and not get involved at all. The more I tried the more they shut you out. Always remain a parent and set the rules and guidelines.

The guy that is your 2nd answerer. Is anything BUT friendly. He's been making threats to women. And I reported him. He then, made the serious mistake of threatening ME!! I have sent his threat to the Authorites. And they are taking it, VERY SERIOUSLY!! And he will pay for what he's done!! But I suggest you Block his access to your accounts! He only answers womens questions. And does it in a threatning manner. I hope you consider this.
