If this little girl does not respect you, neither you house rules adn is giving you so much hard time. Let me tell you friend you do not have to deal wiht her. I have had different families in my house, from drugadicts to healthy families. When the mother or father is willing to work with you for the own good of this unresponsible teen, you become a team and after couple or some months, these teens attitude change with the help of God. However, when neither the father or children are willing to work with me and do not respect my house. I am sorry but they need to leave. So do not be afraid of what people can said be strong and courage and respect yourself by supporting your rules otherwise you will have a great burden. MY greatest advice to you, is seek godly councel, is of great power in decision making.

Sure rtjl, I even was one myself once.  A more constructive comment would be welcomed. What's your suggestion on how to deal with them?
(Edited to add: You know what, I assumed you were a teen yourself when I saw your two sarcastic comments in posts. Now having read your third post, I realize you aren't. It sets a bad example to the youngsters here when they see that coming from an adult. Please refrain from doing that. I'll simply delete any future non-constructive comments that add no value to the conversation, same as I do with the kids so there's really no point in making them. Thank you. )

I have an 18-year-old daughter. For that long 18 years, I have never found any joy or happiness in being a parent.Most of phone calls I have received were about her for different kind of troubles she's caused in school and outside of school ever since. She is the biggest liar I have ever come across in my life. She would lie to everyone about everything at anytime without any remorse.She is now 18 and is the most stubborn kind I've ever seen. She does not like to listen to anyone about anything. She likes to sleep all day and stay awake all night chatting to God know who on the internet or mobile phone. If I ask her to go to sleep, she would swear at me and keep chatting.You know what, I wish parents in the world all the luck they need to deal with their teenagers kids.I'd get the coldest chill down my spine everytime I think of my daughter. You know the feeling you get when you see a ghost.I am scared of being a parent with my life and promise to myself I would never ever want to go back there again for this lifetime and mine and the next and the next....

you were very hard on the above lady Hanna, she has probably been through so much, and you know on this post there will be no teens looking at it, I can relate,I love my kids but they are lazy, and about the troublemaking that is why our prisons are so full, there are so many parents feeling at lost like Hanna, give the woman a break she needs it, and your kids can make you cringe, you must be just starting out with teens fiery.

Actually my son is 22, patty. He's also on the autistic spectrum. So please don't assume I know nothing about raising difficult teens. I've been to hell and back more than most.
That's what makes comments like rtjl's unacceptable. If she had been through much she could have said that in the first place and offered some constructive comments like a grownup. Instead she chose to be sarcastic towards those wanting to vent. She would have got all the support in the world from me and others here that she wanted had she chosen the former path. She still would. All she need do is behave in a more civilized manner. That's not much to ask.
No teens looking at it? One posted only a few posts above your own. So no, I don't know they aren't but would have assumed from the nature of her comment she was.

I had a son who was twelve years of age who avoided alot of school homework. I checked on his books and came to know about it. I saw his teachers and I was told that they knew about and gave him time to complete them. After all the advice he completed and suceeded in obtaining a good results in his exams. I told the importance of displin, so that he does not repeat the same mistake again. Now he is 13 years of having the same problem. Above that my older son who is 16 years of is having the same problem. He is so lazy that daily I have to remind him to make his bed. It is driving me nuts. Help me.

I truely relate to all of the posts that Ive read my situation goes as such: He's now 18 and in his 3rd year of the 11th grade. Ive just gotten my life back to a managable state and was trying to work with him to do the same. He stays up all night on video games and the phone or internet and is very difficult to awake in the morning. He is offered I repeat offered all types of insentatives to do what he needs to do. But won't bite. I am very upset that the lessons he was taught as a child are not being used at this time. I'm wondering what else I can do to help my child become a responsible adult. Please help!

Sometimes there are kids just born tempermental, no matter how much you attempt to teach them to be responsible as kids, they resist and only want to be unmotivated and pleasure driven. Our society unfortunately encourages them to continue these bad habits into adulthood. The article above was virtually useless to me and far to simplistic. I hope the person who write the article above is not a psychologist because if they are them they have no idea how to deal with troubled youth.

Having lazy teenagers is more my fault for failing to parent/navigate in today's society. Yes, there are children with special needs, social or psychological problems who can drive us to distraction or make us want to give up. I don't have the answers, but I continue to try. I feel like giving up right now, but I brought these kids into the world and I **** well better live up to that responsibility or what kind of example am I?! I can relate to all of you on some level, but the question still remains....what is going on in these kids heads ?What have we failed to stimulate or nurture for them to turn out this way? I love my kids, I do everything I know how to do to try to spend time with them and get to know them. I do feel the electronics are evil. The are so much more powerful than we are as parents. If the devil can't make them bad, he will keep them too busy to be good. Being lazy and bad is easy, being good takes committment, time and desire to do the right thing. Maybe we try to find a way to put God back in our lives and a bit less of the modern world of electronics and instant gratification.

I have a teenager.. We had a rough go of it for about two years with her. But you have to remember...you pay the bills , provide the Internet, phone etc... Take it away ...they have to be reminded ( it unfortunate) but you r in charge...period! And at 18 and out of high school ...time to go to college, get a job or move out! If they r going to be unproductive then time to go do it somewhere else...oh and the phone stays with the person paying for it! It's called tough live people and more times then not...it works!

I can't stand the fact that there are people out there like "Hannah" that judge others without knowing them. My advice to you Hannah would be take a step back and evaluate your situation as it's own, nobody's situation is going to be the same. Just because you have been to "hell and back" doesn't mean that other's have not. Judge not lest ye be judged.

I am not about to judge any of you. Parenting is tough and all the social media now a days makes it tougher.Our boys range from 39 to 14 and each one has been very different. What I think I know changes with each child and what temperament that child has.Some kids are just tougher to parent and those with easy children should be thankful.But I will tell you a few things that seem to have worked with our two younger kids. The cell phone is a privilege, which first priority is for us as parents to keep in touch with kids.We have kept a closer eye on homework completion with the younger two and they know they will lose privileges like computer use if they do not keep up on their "job". School is their job just like their dad goes to work. And yes, the punishment or loss of privilege is always harder on the parent or parents.Our youngest has always been our most difficult child.I use the time in the car to try and talk to the kids as they are captive.Parenting is the most challenging thing most of us will ever do.Hang in there!
