My daughter is drinking and hanging with older boys

w

THE QUESTION:

My daughter is 15 and is breaking my heart. She goes out and never tells us where she is going. I know she is drinking because she has been seen down the town drunk with some older boys that I definitely do not want her hanging around with.

We’ve tried grounding her, but she just laughs at us and goes out anyway. We can’t lock her in the house! If I take her phone it causes huge rows and she even got into a tussle with her dad one day when he tried to take it from her.

It was awful. I am so upset and it’s like she doesn’t care. Have you any advice?
