Teenage daughter refusing to come home

I have posted before about my 16 yr old DD... She stayed overnight at a friends last night (fine) , got home at lunchtime and then asked to go out again. I said no as she has school work to complete before next week. She repeatedly asked, I said no in no uncertain ways. I turned my back and she climbed out the window! Haven't seen her since. She has blocked me on her phone, refusing to come home . No idea where she is, with who. Really really worried. Our relationship is pretty strained as she refuses totally to follow any rules. I really have no idea how to play it. I put consequences in place but nothing, literally nothing works.
I suspect she is involved with an unsuitable crowd and I know for a fact she sometimes smokes weed which is a MASSiVE issue for me. Literally she does exactly what she wants with zero thought for anyone else. I really don't like her very much.
No idea what to do tbh .... I think we need to go to therapy to sort out these issues but that doesn't help tonight when I have zero idea where she is. And she is refusing point blank to come home :(

No homework done! She has another week. But there is a lot and revision for an exam! But not my responsibility. I am really hoping she gets home on time. I can see where she is- only down the road, doing some good teenage "lurking" I imagine! I don't want the drama if she doesn't get home. I want and need a quiet life 🤦🏼‍♀️

But your already setting her and yourself up for a fail by predicting this! Your whole body will be giving off these already predictable vibes.she will walk in feel it see it and mirror it.
