 i saw this question an just had to answer. you see i was that 15 yea old once. my mum was at her wits end with. i was coming in at all hours full of drink and drugs and sadly that is what todays society is like. i am 19 years old now with a daughter of 9 months. yes some people may say im to young but i have a lovely house which i keep imaculate and my daughters dad and i are still together after 4 years and very happy with our family. that im tying to tell you is that i grew out of it. ichanged friends when i left school and when to college and i have never looked back. im sure your daughter loves you very very much but when your 15 the opinions of your so called pals matter more. my mum used to demand and shout and scream at me but it never worked. them she changed tacticts. she said ok you can stay out to when you want but i want a hpone call every hour to tell me your ok. a very fair compromise. and then having that little bit of freedom from my mum showed me how to respect her as she had shown respect to me. it actually worked. so please try not to stop her going out with friends you dont like becasue she will do jsut that to be a rebel. i hope this helps you. thanks rachael x
