Dear Linda

Can you give me some advice? Sometimes I don't know what to do with my daughter. We've had several arguments recently.

She pays more attention to her appearance now, and her clothes are just... Well, I can't understand the younger generation's fashion. She has bought so many new clothes, but I think she should've saved her money. So I talked to her about it, and we argued. I decided to stop giving her money for a month, and now she's really angry.

She also spends a lot of time in her room. I wouldn't mind if she was studying, but I don't think she is. She plays music loudly, and her music is just... not good at all. When I suggested she should play classical music to help her focus better, she refused. She said it's boring. Last Friday, I was so tired and she wouldn't turn off her music, so I shouted at her. I was wrong to shout, but she shouldn't have ignored me. I feel like she doesn't respect my opinions anymore.

The biggest problem between us, however, is her request to have "privacy." She never talks to me about her school or friends, and she wants to change her curfew to 10 p.m. I'm worried that she might meet someone who is a bad influence. Yesterday, when I was cleaning her room, I found her diary. I started to read it and then put it down. I know I shouldn't have done it, but I just wanted to know what's going on with her.

I really want our relationship to get better. What should I do?

Please help me.

Donna
