Struggling with a rebellious teenager: advice needed
Hi, I’m the mother of a 14-year-old girl, and I’m at my wit’s end.
She has been caught drinking several times and even got so drunk that she ended up in the hospital, brought in by an ambulance. She’s also been caught stealing and is hanging out with the wrong crowd. Despite facing serious consequences, she keeps repeating the same behaviors over and over.
She lies constantly. For example, she’ll tell me she’s going to a friend’s house but then sneaks off to a place called Bryne, where she drinks, smokes, and steals.
I’m exhausted and don’t know what else to do. Has anyone been in a similar situation and has advice on how to handle this? I feel completely lost.
