The system only makes it worse. These days, being booked gives kids something to brag about. They feel tough like a gangster. But If you give your child to the hellish gates of the law, that's worse than murdering them, which my mom would have done if I so much as looked at an adult the wrong way(exaggeration). These kids need a lil old skool discipline that's all. Maybe your 13 year old needs an adult father figure to put some fear of God in her heart. Military school it a good option. If not, then limit her to the home, shes 13, still a baby. Make sure she hang with a limited amount of friend and don't let her off the block without supervision of someone you trust. My mother layed the smack down on my big sis each and every time she got outta line and it paid off in the sense that now at 23 years old, my sister wouldn'tt even curse or talk about sexual things in Mom's presence. Neither do I(20 years old) A Little discipline goes a long way. Don't believe that you child doesn't listen. She hears every thing you tell her, she's just waiting for you to say the right thing. Try to limit your yelling and just let her know that when every other human on earth fails and betrays her(which they will), you'll be the only one riding for her.
