My parents no longer know what to do next. She has been staying at her grandparents home and still is being very defiant to them. Please send me some suggestions so I can give them to my parents. They can not hame a computer at there home do to her behavior. She is also in thearpy and it is not working. Thank you.

Listen parents of troubled teenagers. I am a single Mom of a 15 year old troubled daughter. She lies, she's manipulative, she has no concious and is just down right nasty to whoever tries to dicipline her. She has run away three times; once for 2 days, the next for 3 days, and just last night, she left her grandmas house at 9 o'clock to return at 4 in the morning. I was hurt, sick and sad to say the least. She has even physically fought me when she has been caught in a lie. I am currently seeking stronger help for my child. We have gone to counseling, to my church pastor and many other respected adults and older family members to no avail. I placed my daughter in GOD'S hand because I know that no matter how much "help" I seek for my child, only GOD'S eye will watch over her. When my daughter runs away, I have no clue where she is. Everything BAD runs through my mind. I keep myself sane by praying and asking GOD to keep my child and all the other troubled kids in his care. You are not alone parents. Keep trying to find the answers. Don't give up on your kids. Go to the police, school officials, whomever.... but, please go to GOD and pray that he helps us all.

My step-daughter will be 13 yrs old in 4 months. Her mom is in prison for 10 years, so she's lived with us for the past 2 years. My husband and her mom were never married and the mom didn't allow the child to really see her dad AT ALL until she was 5, so it's been a real struggle for everyone for years now. The girl seriously looks 16 or 17 and thrives on the attention she gets from the opposite sex. She's already been premiscuous, but we're not for sure to what extent. She lies all the time. She is constantly playing my husband against me, or my husband against the other kids in the house (4 other girls of ours.) She recently "stayed the night with her cousin", but really ended up staying the night at a motel with a bunch of teenagers. She was mysteriously sick the next day and my husbad in sure she was hung over. She sneeks phone calls and computer time when she's grounded. We prohibit myspace.com, yet she has a page on the site. I could go on and on, but dont' have the time. I just know it has both me and my husband at wit's end. She has no other family to live with, yet she's tearing ours apart and having a good time at it. She doesn't "see" or understand where she's ever in the wrong. She doesn't feel she deserves any of her groundings or punishments. The younger sister closest in age to this daughter is starting to follow in her footsteps because she looks up to her and thinks she's cool. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!! But I feel there's got to be some help out there for us. I've done 2 years and don't think I can do much more without a nervous breakdown. I'm open to advice and suggestions...please!!!

Good Afternoon

My fiance & I have been together for over 2 years now we just received custody of his daughter about a year and a half ago she is now 13. Her mother is an alcohol addict & drug addict, she is in and out of jail and is known mainly for being a pathological liar & promiscuous. She has moved about 6-7 times in the last year alone & her 2 sons that she had with my fiance are suffering because they are with her we are just now getting custody of them this summer. Now my concern is my step daughter she is acting up more & more no matter how we punish her it does not phase her. And she steps it up another notch each time. She is lying all the time getting in trouble at school now her grades have taken a serious nose dive. She pierced her own nose & naval. I don't know what else to do & we are in no place to pay the money it takes to send her somewhere to change her around & save her because I know she is smart & has so much potential. My fiance & her & her brothers are all native american indians and have been subject to alcholism in one form or another their whole lives. The boys are young & I know we stand a better chance turning them around sooner but I am at a lost with her I have backed her up & stood up for her I know I realize she was playing me because everything has been coming to light lately & she has been guilty of stealing, lying & defying us and other adults. Please any advice or assitance we be greatly appreciated I can't stacnd the thought of her failing in life because I don't know how to turn her around at this point.
