Just some insight from someone that wasn't a teen too long ago. Me and my mom didn't get on at all. The more she tried to control me the more rebellious I got. The more rebellious i got the more she tried to control it was very bad. However, most parents wouldn't of called me a bad kid. My grades were good, I didn't do drugs, I didn't have sex (of any kind), I didn't drink. But they wanted to control everything what I did, the way I dressed, who my friends were. I had a rough time in high school I had no friends and when I finally found friends they were the hoods and my parents didn't want me to hang with them. There could be a multitude of things going on with your daughter and you have to find out what going on, but grounding her or checking up on her will just make her less likely to tell you. Have you met this boyfriend? do you like him? What does she think of your boyfriend? I would imagine she might be trying to get your attention. Kids are like yorkies it doesn't matter if it's good or bad attention is attention. Maybe she having trouble in a class because of what she missed and is too embarrased to tell you? I think talking is a good idea. Do something the 2 of you like to do you haven't done in a while and try to get her to open up.
