Sounds to me like she has hit the dreaded teens. If I cast my mind back and remember how I was at that age it sounds similar. My Mum wasn't cool and boys were my first thought. Just be there for her as a friend, my Mum in the end stopped the hard parenting, put her trust in me and became my friend. I told her everything and listened to her advise and not once did I ever go off the rails, A lot of my friends were jealous of our relationship when they were forever getting grounded and sneaking out the window because my Mum new exactly where I was at all times. When I talk to her now she said it was the hardest thing she ever did but it paid off for her.
It probably has got something to do with her new friend, My friend at the time was the same, I was jealous of her male attention but I was never like that I think it was because I didn't want to let my Mum down.
Just be on her side give her the knowledge of your experiences, if she's good deap down then it will resurface.
Thanks..I appreciate it...and I do need to let my guard down..I do remember that age also...but my parents were no longer together and my mom was a newly single mom, and had a lot of her own personal life stuff to deal with, so I had the freedom to do what I want...so I know whats out there, I know peer pressure..and I just want to give my daughter some of the freedom, but with guidance...if that's possible..she's such a good kid at heart, I don't want her to stray too far and never come back to it...
