The key is probably convincing her that her feelings, opinions and decisions are being taken seriously - nothing makes a teenager more furious and obstinate than not being taken seriously. | |

That struck me too: in one paragraph "she gets evasive" and on the next "one of us needs to quit a job, we need to sell a house". Seems like a lot of drama, but lack of information from the source. Although @MichaelBorgwardt the answer would be even nicer if you'd expand a bit the how to part. The desired end result is spelled out completely. | |

It is somewhat judgy and seems to make unwarranted assumptions about what has transpired when the parents have tried to deal with this. As a parent, you might be proud of your telling off skills, but you don't need to practise them on the OP. | |
