Teenage daughter is out of control

5 replies

I'm not sure which thread this should be on so if it's on the wrong one I apologise.

Need some advice.
A family member has a teenage daughter, 13, who is out of control. She's violent, refuses to go to school, says awful things and is damaging their home. She demands things and when she hears a no she loses it. Her other children get no sleep as she could be up till 1am slamming and kicking doors. She's making their life hell. I hate that I have no advice for them as I don't have a teenager or child close to her age and I'm not sure what I would do in this position, any one else been through this or similar with some advice?

There is a Facebook group called Therapeutic Parenting, it may be of some help to them.

is she getting support from CAMHS? Is there any cause to this? Any more info on the family background?

It sounds like it is time to reach out to all possible support services - GP / school / mental health / counselling and try to get some help in place. It is hard but keep fighting for it.

So what I know is she's had help from CAMHS and said it was useless, the teenage daughter I mean. The school has been involved and have sent people to their home to try resolve the issue but thats gone no where. She was seeing a counsellor on Skype but refuses now.

Their family background is genuinley fine, issues. Her oldest is in uni, sweet, smart respectful girl. Her other two are super sweet, do well in school, never ever an issue. She is the youngest and I'm not sure perhaps she was spoilt as the youngest tend to be? That's probably the worst thing I can think of as they are great parents. From what I can gather she's got into a bad crowed. They film their fights which look awful, they drink, they defy their parents etc

They may have missed adhd. I would also suggest therapeutic parenting on facebook. Helped me no end.
