  • I don't mean this to sound rude, but are you positive she doesn't have mental issues? Some mental problems do not respond to punishment because the sufferer doesn't understand the purpose of punishment.

    • It's the parent who has the mental issues.

      Some strong independent people don't respond to unfair punishment in the way the punisher wants them to and good on them, I say

      • His punishment seems normal for every generation except the most recent one. If I was rebellious, I was locked up in my room until I obeyed. I turned out fine once I accepted society's pecking order. All teenagers are like this, some worse than others. The problem is with the little delinquent.

        • It's the sort of punishment my parents (born at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th) tried to impose on me as a teenager for normal adolescent questioning of their very strict rules and guess what? I rebelled against them and then against society as a whole and I haven't stopped since.

              • Rebelling against authority simply because it's authority not only makes someone a horrible person, it makes them extremely immature and untrustworthy and excludes them from organized society. Humans are social animals and antisocial behavior leads to problems and/or crime. I truly pity your parents for having such an awful child. I certainly wouldn't put up with it just like mine didn't. In fact, I think the OP is going about it the wrong way, he should consider shipping her off to a military academy and get her scared straight.
