  1. I don’t know if this will be any help or not, but I have come up with a saying that I apply from time to time to the idiots folks with whom I work:

    Sometimes, you just have to let the jackass get hit upside the head with the two-by-four.

    I figured that I would probably have to apply this same principle as my son was going though the terrible teens. Fortunately, it didn’t happen. Maybe some of what he saw in his relatives scared some sense into him: but whatever the reason, the teenage years were a whole lot better than we could have expected them to be.
    About the best you can do is to try and stop her if she starts acting too dangerously (minimizing, if not preventing, permanent damage, either physical or legal.) Beyond that, let her know that actions have consequences, and let her take her lumps – no matter how painful and difficult it may seem.
    Oh, yeah – and tell her if she keeps that face up too long, it will freeze that way, forever. Which won’t help her one bit if/when she decides to start dating.

  2. Hang in there, kid! You have given her a lot of love over the years, and she knows that, somewhere in the hidden (as of now) recesses of her mind. Also, she knows ‘deep down’ that she’s not acting right. She’s a touch young for this stage, but not exceptionally so. You and your husband hang together on this, stick to your principles and weather it through. I promise you that it will all be worth it in the end!
