Parenting Teens

I wish I had some insightful words of wisdom for you. Unfortunately, most of us have been where you are. My youngest just turned 20 so it hasn't been that long since I was there. What I can tell you is to keep the lines of communication open. I learned the hard way that screaming at them didn't help. Also, let me suggest to you that you stop asking her friends abbout her. This will not help matters with your relationship or her friendships. She will quit telling them things if she feels that they are only going to run to you. It also gives her the impression that you are spying on her. Is there a reason that you don't want her having facebook, or are you upset simply because she blocked you? What I suggested with my kids as teens is that they had a specific amount of time each day to "Play" on the internet (not Schoolwork) They could chat on facebook or myspace; play a game, or watch videos. I also compromised with them during their school work time. They were allowed to have their headphones on and listen to music. Believe it or not, this actually helped my son STAY focused! There are several internet music sites; but our favorite was pandora.com they can set up their radio stations with their favorite artists/music and then minimize it and it runs while they were working on other thing. Hope I've helped some!
