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.

troubled teen sister need help finding affordable bootcaps

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.

I have a 12 year old daughter who truly concerns me. She has been in my custody for 2 years now and we have been through so much, due to her life beforehand with her mother. Before living with us she was in a very abusive relationship with her mom. Lots of neglect, moved house to house, lack of food, social services involved numerous times. Now we have her we have been battling behavioral issues. She is very jealous of my attention, lies constantly about everything no matter how little, was hospitalized for making herself throw up when not getting her way, etc. Is there a program to help

Thank you.

My daughter is 14 and is out of control, she lies she steals, she is very aggressive towards people, she has fought her mother, and has threatened her step mother with a knife, all she knows is she wants her way, and if she doesn't get her way, she acts out. I need an affordable boot camp for her, before she is lost forever.

My daughter who is seventeen has decided to move out I have had serious issues with her in the past. Now I have a 16 year old who has observed her and has tried to immulate her. I am a single mom on a fixed income and do not have the funds to pay for a school or program. Is there something out there for kids that can be provided by the state at no cost. I don't want to loose this one the wrong way, he still has the chance to better him self. I know that but without the means to do so I am at a lost.

When children make mistakes, parents should be careful to address the mistake, not condemn the child. Parents can talk with their children unacceptable behavior without making the children feel they are bad. It is better to say that a child has behaved in an unacceptable way than to say that the child is bad.

i need help finding affordable camps for my troubled teenage little sister.

i need help finding affordable camps for my troubled teenage little sister.

I need to place my 12year/10month old daughter in a boot camp/displinary school, as soon as its possible. My Questions are: general set up for acheivement-overcoming lying, stealing, manipulation, physical abuse against her siblings. hurting herself, starting fires, trying to hurt me, etc...? (behavioral disorder possible, and disconnective disorder plausable). Academic education during her stay? Concern of affordablity? Length of programs available? We would also like for the school to be somewhere close to our location, which is Colorado; however, we will have no issues with surrounding states, in the Utah/Wyoming/Kansas areas, also...? Success rate, if available? Help ideas/program at home, for the rest of the family, to recover from the psychological and behavioral changes manipulated into the younger children? Can easily see my daughter causing injury...serious injury... to our family (which incl. 5 others, besides her, 3 of the 5 are children/young adult) because she blames everyone else, and shows no concious or remorse on what she does to us now-nothing really stopping her to do something worse-no matter how strict and structured we've become with her, it has just caused her to act out even more.....please help!!?!?!?!!

Help, my daughter pleaseeeee!!! She is 15 an all ways anger, and doesn't want she wants.

She thinks that shes the parent and never listens to anything i tell her,she yells(screams),hits,cusses,breaks things punches holes in the walls,she needs a major wake-up call can someone help me im at my last straw i cant have this demon in my home any longer and i need help with the money part i am unemployed.

These stories sound familiar. I am seeking a summer camp that I could afford (if not free). I am dealing with a disrespectful teen. She is constantly late to school. I have made attempts to wake her up before I leave to go to work. She will get on the phone in the morning and has no concept of time. She back talks and slams doors, and lots more please help.

I am looking for a 2 to 3 week program to assist my 15 year old daughter. She has self esteem issues and feels like having sex is no big deal. She communicates with me and listens but as a social worker I see her heading down a path that may be distructive.

I need to find somewhere to send my troubled teenage girl that is inexpensive
