My daughter has had some loss and is somewhat overstressed - she refuses to go to school and throws partys while I am work. She has been smoking pot and having boys stay the night in her room. She threatens me when I punish her and has NO respect for me or the law as she has had 6 tickets since January. Please help my struggling girl.
