Send such teen to a military academy.

xynerise:

Against his or her wish?

xynerise:
Going through the developmental stages in life, some teens tend to take a wrong detour in life. Many teens are becoming rebellious to their parents and causing disunity in the family. Setting their own rules in the house and disrespecting anybody who tries to stop them from doing what they wish to do.

"Spare the rod and spoil the child". Does this also applies to teenagers? I guess not. What other psychological ways can we correct this rebellion?

Waiting to see how APC deals with Bukky Saraki..... Then I will have a perfect answer to your question.

Lol

Atk01:

Well, much as I'm all for respecting people's wishes, sometimes you don't have a choice. It's better to go against their wish before they finally go out of control.

xynerise:

Mtchew!!

To hell with those politicians. Let's talk something that has to do with our kids.

xynerise:

What if they refused to go with you?

Rome was not built in a day, training begins from infantry,...the little things overlooked will grow to be a monster.....parents are 85% responsible for rebellious teens, they should also lead by example,...A teen can still be spanked in my opinion.

Teempakguy:
I hate rebellious teenagers. They regret it later in life. But still, they never admit that they are the ones behind their predicament. They still continue to blame everyone else.
They are often bitter and volatile.

Honestly, the best way is to start from when they are kids. Rebellious teenagers are impossible to control.

problem is good parents often don't need to and not so good parents often spank inappropriately and ineffectively

As much as i agree with you, a child will always be a child...caning accompanied with some positive examples is important..

I asked a question about a rebellious teenager-- a 17 year old girl -- who willfully disobeyed her parents by continuing to see a 20 year old boy she had been told to stay away from- and she's been spreading her thighs for him. Should I flog her? Most on the other thread think not and they mostly make good arguments against it

Using myself as an example, although at 17 I was not rebellious


1.withdraw some benefits/treats from her.. (I wouldn't care much) .
2. Flog her (I hate it physical.. I must change)
3. Again try getting to meet the 20YO boy and talk some sense into them ( I hate embarrassing situations I go run leave the guy)

If none of these work, then let her learn the hard way

you don't know what you are talking about.are you sure you are not just writing the above in the name of comments!

favoured234:

Was I referring to you or myself?
Do you know me better than I know myself

baralatie:

from these comment it is clear what you want as regards a 17 year teenage girl.

favoured234:
Now this is it,
what I stated was ((how I knew I would have behaved)) when I was 17

winner01:
In this case there is a fundamental problem, she must have had so much time to herself while growing maybe due to her parents work or boarding school. So they spent little time with her. If not, a 17 year old in my opinion is still somewhat under the control of her parents....Even though shes not above the canning age, i suggest that the parents (the mother especially) should sit her down, express her dissapointment and dissapproval, advise and counsel her on the possible dangers now that sex is involved, Encourage her to focus on her bright future. Canning may only make things worse in this case.

hvq229:


Her mother has been trying to teach her those things talking to her about the immorality of premarital sex and the practical risks of it- the disease the unwanted pregnancies-- trouble is the child doesn't think any of that is going to affect her. Further we don't trust this boy. He is from what I've been told irresponsible and the minute he gets her pregnant as he's done other girls I'm told

Her mother wants me to flog her. I may do it tomorrow. Her aunt will be over and she can help get the child ready without having to involve her mother- I like for her mother to talk with her afterwards. We're responsible for her safety, moral upbringing, and welfare. Maybe the caning won't work but I think we may have to try
