I don't have children, but I remember doing similar things to my mother at that age. Try explaining to her why you don't want to or cant take her everywhere all the time. Explain to her how much gas cost for example and how much you normally have to spend on that. Teenagers understand more about money than most people think. Tell them exactly how many hours or the time frame that you had to work just to make the money for what a tank of gas cost. I think taking away privileges like phones and tv are a bit harsh for wanting a ride. Try working out a solution like the friends parents taking turns giving the rides. But if the chaos continues with the arguing tell her for every time that she argues with you for saying no that's one week of not visiting that friend. She might decide that once or twice a week is better than nothing at all.

First question- I used to be the same but my friend showed me a easy way to keep stamina up. Just stand up and go up and down on your tippy-toes about 100-200 times(or until it hurts your legs) and not only would your stamina get better but your legs will be stronger. It sounds simple and it is. \n\nSecond question-I think you would get near 5' 11"-6' tall. Not bad for a 14 year old. I was 6' at 14 and haven't grown but 2 inches since.

as you said your age is only 14 there is still scope for growth. you contact a good endocrinologist

Haven't had one yet.\n\nI think fourteen is the youngest appropriate age, unless the kids are really mature.

As a mother of a 14 year old, i can answer your question.  If you are considered overweight and your doctor will write you a note, you can join weight watchers at 13.  Weight Watchers is not a diet, it is a way of life.  The program teaches you how to make good choices and portion control.  My daughter and I have both been on the program.  It really works.  The best part is, you do not have to give up anything.  You just eat smaller portions and record your points so that you are accountable for what you do eat and you can keep track. You are normally allowed around 24 points a day.  For example, if you go to subway and have a ham and cheese sub with all the veggies you like, a bag of baked lays and diet soda or water.  It is 9 points for everything. 1 cup of cereal and 1/2 cup 2% milk is around 4 pts.  In addition to recording your points, you can go to the meetings once or twice a week.  They cost abour $10.00 a week and last about an hour. My daughter and do not go to the meetings.  We just follow the plan.  She is also a teenager and feels uncomfortable, so its ok.  As long as you follow the plan, it really works.Just make sure you use all your points.  Some people try to get away wih 15 - 20 pts a day and that is not good either, because you body will start to store fat.  It is ok to do this once and awhile.  For example, it is Friday and you are going out to eat with your friends on Saturday.  You can use 19 points on Friday and that way you will have 29 points on Saturday, instead of 25. I hope I am not confusing you.  This website should really help you!  http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/6172/points.htm\nGood luck, honey!  You can do it!

For what reasons would you like to be emancipated?  Are you being abused or neglected?  Are both your parents terminally ill or deceased and there are no relatives to care for you?  These are the typical reasons why minors obtain emancipation.  \n\nYour parents are likely to feel rather insulted when you tell them you don't want them as parents anymore--they'll wonder what they did wrong.  Either that, or they'll think you don't know what you're asking for.  I hope you've thought about whether it's a good idea to say such a harsh thing to them before you say it.  \n\nIt is unlikely that you would be emancipated at age 14 in any case--it is just too young.  It's usually not considered for under-16-year olds.  You would be placed in a foster home instead.  Before emancipation proceedings, you would have to have a mental health expert (probably more than one) testify to your intelligence, maturity, and ability to care for yourself.  You would have to keep a home while going to school at the same time.  You might not have anybody in your life to help you with all the day-to-day things you get help with now (laundry, cooking, cleaning, errands, transportation), and you would have to do them all yourself.  You might have to do this while living on food stamps and a small welfare check.  \n\nYou would also probably have a guardian or social worker who would check on you frequently to make sure you were living responsibly and going to school and coping well.  This might or might not be more pleasant than having parents.  \n\nJust having adults (parents) around probably keeps some creepy people away from you.  If you didn't have anybody around, you would be a sitting duck for users and abusers of all kinds.  You would probably be able to keep on your parents' insurance, but there are co-pays and deductibles that add up to hundreds of dollars per year, even if you have health insurance.  Somebody has to pay those too.  You could get Medicaid for help with medical expenses, but it's a hassle.  \n\nYou'd get the process rolling by finding a counselor of some sort to talk to about it, such as a psychologist or social worker.  In my opinion, you should find one who works for a city or county mental health center.  \n\nNevertheless, I think this is not a good idea for a 14 year old.  If you have a good reason for thinking you need to be emancipated that you haven't mentioned, I suggest you speak to a counselor about it, or you are free to send me an email through the email link.  Best wishes.

Are you talking about sex? Okay, we have restrictions so young people don't go and get pregnant at 14 and throw away the rest of their life taking care of a baby. So they can find out about the dangers of STD's and have an opportunity to finish school before they destroy their future with an unplanned baby while in High School.\n\nBut if you want to do it go ahead and be like most kids these days.(I'm not advising you either way, your probably grown up enough)

Your fun may just be beginning. My daughter started at 12 and outgrew it at 19. Things got so bad that I let her go life with her permosques dad. She ended up living on her own at 17. Sometimes we must let go so they can grow. It sounds harsh but you must stick to your morals and principles. My heart goes out to you. To be honest, giving her to God was the only thing to do. She is now the mother of two. Her and her husband are so king and loving. It just takes time and patience.

2young2BeUsingIMunsupervised is probably a good one.\nShouldBeInBed \n\nCourtney,\n\nThere are too many people out there trying to take advantage of kids your age for you to be staying up late on the internet.  \n\nIf you are going to IM with your friends be very cautious about who else you chat with.  Talk with a guidance counselor, teacher or best of all your parents about the dangers online so you can be prepared.  \n\nI'll take off my parent hat now,\n\nMichael

Define "alot."\n\nAnd, sorry to say, at 14, it is unlikely you will make a lot of money really quickly. \n\nMow lawns. Walk dogs. Wash cars. Babysit. Run errands for elderly people. And next time... think ahead and save before the need is desperate.

Fishing, a day hike with a campfire lunch, laser tag, water park, water skiing, swimming, wax museum, indoor rock climbing wall... Something more about DOING than SEEING.\n\nIf you plan for two or three two-hour activities (so that there's some pressure to get to the next thing) with a couple of breaks for lunches (one sit-down restaurant and one McD stop...) they'll have the time of their lives. \n\nIt's all about being busy, doing stuff and... since they're teens... EATING.

Set a time limit for being online. Then, read a book; put a puzzle together; write a letter (on paper with a pen/pencil) (GASP), find someplace local to volunteer, learn to cook (or if you know how already, cook), and then there's the always famous, if you're really bored and tempted by the internet; CLEAN YOUR ROOM. Ha ha! Hope this helps, I also have a 13 yr old, his addiction is video games. Good luck!
