Hi, I guess I'm what you would call a scene kid.
Trust me, Usually we're not that argumentative, I'm an honor role student, and have a very close relationship with my parents.
Pretty weird for a sixteen-year-old, huh?
First off, is your daughter morbidly profane?
if so, try keeping her favourite electronic (an ipod, phone, etc.) away for the same number of days she swore. That definitely kills me!
If she's dressing skimpily, just make fun of her (not too hurtful!).My dad did it with me once or twice, and boy am I glad.
If you argue a lot, think about why.If it involves things like piercings, hair dying, hair products, CDs, just tell her to buy it herself.My parents use this method as if it were a religion up to the point where I have to buy my own clothing.half the time I'm broke because I don't yet have a job.
If she says you're too uptight, remind her who let her become scene in the first place.
third, if she's asking you to go to all of these concerts and shows, ask her who the band is.research them for a little.If it's an all ages show, let her go.If it's not, then don't, or go with her.
Fourth, your daughter probably loves music very much. though bands like brokencyde, blood on the dance floor, dotdotcurve:) are vulgar and innapropriate, it might be impossible to get your daughter to stop listening.I'm not kidding.music freaks cannot be taken from their favourite bands.I'm kind of an example.
and last (I know, finally!), if she's becoming really emotional, or emotionally violent, she might be getting bullied.It's kind of something that comes with the style, unfortunately.People called me emo and insisted I slit my wrists up to the point where I almost did. Kid's called me weird, and ignored me, I lost friends.It was pretty tough, but when I found the right friends, I made it through.
I found, as cheesy as it was, to make comebacks.Not offensive ones, simply some like:
Kid:Are you emo?
me:Are you?
Kid:No
Me:exactly.
Thank you for suffering through my gargantuan post.
If she doubts any of it, tell her you heard the method from a scene kid.You can even have proof!
sincerely,
Rachel Behr
