Take away her cell, ipod, tv, computer, and car keys if she drives. Do not give them back for either a month or till she starts acting civil for a week straight, whichever happens 1st.

Take away everything you daughter has: ipod, car privileges, car, computer, TV, DVD player, etc. Tell your daughter she will have to earn them back by behaving like a civil human being and not a spoiled rotten brat. If she earns something back and then acts like a little hellion, take everything away again and start over.
Be sure to tell your daughter how she is expected to act and how long she will have to behave before she has earned something back. Set different time frames for each item you have taken away from her.
Stop buying things for her. If she wants something, she can wait until her birthday or Christmas, or get a part-time job and earn her own money. You probably work hard to give her things and now it's time for you to stop catering to your daughter and make her earn her own way!
If she were to get in trouble with the law, as hard as it may be, let her do her time. Don't rush to bail her out right away. Give her time to realize your job as a parent is not to bail her out of trouble.
You have got to put your foot down and re-establish your authority over your daughter at this point.

isnt it horrid. Trying to keep the house rules boundaries intact with a constant teenage battering ram. My daughter didn't find out how good she had it until she went and lived with another family. She was 16 years old at the time and I thought my heart would break. Luckily where she moved to was even stricter than I was. She had to pay more board, do household duties, keep her room clean, cook twice a week and do dishes if someone else cooked. She asked if she could come back 6 months later and she did, we got along a lot better, she was so pleasant to have around. She's 21 now, buying her own house and I'm so proud of her.

You have to take away all of her privileges. She needs to learn to live life with out all the luxuries. Try taking her to do some community service, such as at a homeless shelter. Have her set some short term goals of things that she would like to accomplish and make her follow through. Most of all, just be there for her and don't back down, no matter what. Best of Luck, the teenage years are the hardest years.

Check Around in my town we have a place that takes the kids for a while to give the parents a rest....they even take them to school. I placed my Daughter there 3 times. Our place is called wave crest. Also have a number 211 that you can call and they will tell you what u can do.
(I Live in Florida, so i don't know if the 211 will work in another state. )

The teenage years are very difficult for them, they have so many outside influences. Had the same problem, the best advise I can give you is just talk to her, do not be critical, but do point out what you expect.
My daughter and I constantly battled during her teenage years, we are best friends now.
Good luck!

Each state is different but, get an out-of-control teen on her.
You become her "parole" officer. If she steps out of line one little bit.. BAM she goes to the juv.
After scrubbing floors W/toothbrushes & being told when you can & can't do everything, maybe she will tow the line.
Good luck & God bless.

Take everything out of her room. Leave the bed, pillow, and blanket. Don't let her use the phone, watch t.v., or use the computer. When she starts showing you respect she can earn each thing back one at a time.
