Tiger Eyes?  If I could be 15 again, I would have to decline.  No thanks man!  In fact it just plain sucked being a teenager.  You're either too old or too young.  You have to think about your future.  Girls look .....uh different.  Your mind and body are in a constant tempest of change.  \n\nHard being 15?  That's the understatement of a lifetime.  Good luck.

My growing-up years was a hard one and I’m always trying to be strong and carry on.\nMy Dad made little money and he didn’t treat my mum very well and they often quarreled since I was 3 or 4 years old. That was all the fault of my dad I was clear. My mum wept very often hiding from me but I knew that most of the time. She never thought of getting divorce with Dad forshe \nendured to avoid leaving me growing in a broken family. All those made a very miserable childhood for me. And hard time came when I was about 18 and got good grades ready to enter the gate of college. Dad barely make money and I need it to pay the tuition. During the 4 years of my \ncollege time ,my mom worked very hard for the whole family and I also did part time jobs as a tutor ,a translator and sometimes also waitress. And in the third year of my college ,my ex-boyfriend, my first love, who \nhad been with me for 7 years and stayed in New York for 5 years left me.Suffering all those, I also \nthought that God hated me and wanted to desert me and that almostpushed me to commit suicide.\nBut now I manage to lead a happy life because I'm convinced that those sufferings are good for my character and they broaden view of human inner world. Now i become optimistic and get a better understanding of 'love' to love the world and people more

man o man i agree with you. I mean im almost 15 and i agree that your mom shouldn't get in trouble. I have an abusive brother and they told my mom and dad that they were only aloud to restrain him, but it sounds like its only your mom doing it and its even hard for just my dad to restrain my bro so i couldnt really see how your mom could do that to your sis. and people who dress gothic and crap just look like fricken retards. they need to get over themselves and get a fricken life! they wonder why nobody likes them and its b./c of all that nasty crap they put on themselves. i know its a way to express yourself but come on find a different way to do it!!!!! also there has been many time that my bro has tried to kill my mom and i think yall should try getting her tested for ADHD and also maybe get her a councilor

Moms are supposed to drive teenage daughters crazy.  Believe me, you are driving her nuts too.  But in a few years when you are grown up your mom won't be driving you crazy anymore and she will think you are a normal person again.

What? you mean they're not all 15? ~Blinks~\n\nseriously though..... punk is an attitude that has nothing to do with age... granted it's hard to hold onto those ideals once one has a family.... but it can be done... just like there's 40 year old Goths or 80 year old metal heads...... when it comes down to it age is just a number and a page on the calendar anyways....

Awkward.  I started high school at 13; I started a new school without all my old friends so I had to make new ones; I didn't have anyone I could talk to about all the things that would be happening hitting puberty (I was never close to my mother so I could never talk to her about the girlie stuff). I couldn't talk to any of the other women in my family either about anything so it was so hard hitting the teenage years!

Sorry to say this, but sounds like something has happened along the way in her 9 short years in this world to have her mother think of putting her into a military type place for disipline. It should have never reached this point. Could it be maybe her homelife is a little unstable? Maybe if there is a relative she really cares about, she can open up and tell them what's going on. She may act like she is 14 or 16, but deep down, she is still just a little girl and it sounds like she may need someone to open up to vs military disipline. At 9 years old, Something/someone gave her the bullet-proof attitude you speak of, she couldn't just develope that for no reason. If you were a close friend of mine and you asked this question, I would tell you to try anything and everything to correct what's wrong with you/daughter, but don't send your 9 year old daughter away from home to a military type institution for disipline.

Most 15 year old have raging hormones and could easily be persuaded into trying things they can't get adult women to do.  Also, it makes them feel young I think.  But honestly, an adult male with a 15 year old is perverted..and illegal---Statutory Rape in most states.  Her parents should castrate him.

Seek counseling, and realize that, but for the actions of your Mom, you could say goodbye to being an "A" student, captain of anything, and the list goes on.......at 16, you were definitely not ready for the consequeces...would you have had to continue living at home, and get help from your Mom?...if you said "yes", then you were not ready.\n\np.s. those advocating you should have kept the child must not have thought it through that her Mom would be shouldering a great part of this burden this girl brought on herself. \nI've seen  ALOT of teenaged girls get pregnant while I was their age....most quit school, end up on welfare...\nThere are those few girls who are fortunate enough to have parents who will help raise their daughter's child so she can continue going to school, but those are the exceptions, not the norms.

Because they weren't taught to do it when they were younger.\nThe behavior that they were allowed to get away with when little, isn't quite as cute in a 15 year old.\nI work with teenagers, and there is a definite difference in the teenagers of parents who have been consistent with discipline in a young age, and the teenagers of parents who weren't.

It's tough being a teenager.  I fought with my parents all the time at 13.  Every gray hair my mom owns, I gave her when I turned 13.  It's okay to have opinions and be passionate about them, but I think teenagers see things from a much more idealistic view, which is reasonable, because they haven't had to go out into the real world yet (where you have to have a job and money and all that boring stuff).  Your mom has seen life from a more realistic and sometimes pessimistic view.  She wants to be as passionate and idealistic in her opinions as you are but can't because the adult world changes that.  It's about living day to day.  But sit her down, calmly.  It's hard, but no matter what, be calm.  Even if she yells, be calm.  It'll force her to calm down too.  And tell her you love her and that you want to spend more time with her but that you want her to understand you and to help you understand her.  Communication is key at this stage.  I wish I communicated with my parents more.  But if you bottle up, it'll come back to haunt you, trust me.  So try to calmly sit her down and talk to her.  She loves you very much and wants the best for you.  It's just hard letting her little girl grow up.  Reach a compromise.  Good luck!

Yes. 16 year olds have a lot to deal with in society: going to school, maybe working, putting up with bull at school, like cliques and phoney people, some stupid ass teachers.\nmany kids do not have 2 parents, or one or two is not acting right and so on. If a 15-16 year old has problems, like little control over their lives, such as abusive parents or bf or gf or other peers, they should have that independence.\ncome on, look around, see the news; kids have a lot of pressure from the nasty/phoney media and from the not so stable fellow citizens they have to deal with. there is a lot of bull and bad stuff in america's society. yeah 16 year old is right to have all rights.\nof course people should encourage 16 year olds to think things thru and educate themselves on matters, like finance, voting, relationships, health and so on. take care everyone.

She's going thru that stage in her life when she start's feeling diffrent about guys. Maybe she doesn't want to tell you because she doesn't feel comfortable talking about that with you maybe she does with her friends. When I was her age my mom wanted to know everything but I wanted some privacy.So try giving her some privacy.
