I hate to admit it...but I was a terror and my poor mom had her hands full.

Don't smother her, but do more mother/daughter things, nothing special, just spend quality time together...it will work and she will get better. It always nice to remember they'll grow out of it...lol

I have to agree with Janet 100 percent on this one I to was that daughter who rebelled and I to have a daughter and have gone through that stage with her. She is now 20 and in college and is starting to show maturity.

This is a age where they test the waters, they listen to their friends as if they were listening to the gospel. Just continue to do like Mandy mentioned, show your authority and discipline her as you usually do. Ignore the eye rolling gestures . This will eventually pass and at the end of these crazy teenage years she will return to the lovely young lady that she is...

You two are cracking me up!!

As for the drugs, I completely agree that children are put on drugs WAY too often as an "easy" way out. I think prescriptions are given because it's less time and energy than trying to get to the root of the problem--for both parents and professionals.
