How do you relate to a 14 year old Girl?

14 March 2010 8 Responses

A Parent asks, I am 45 years old no kids of my own, and have my nice leaving with us.
I love the kid like she is my own, my wife has no trouble but I am finding it very hard to relate to her.
I am at a point that i get depressed because i get angry which do not help.
Any parental tips or teenager where i can learn from ?

    What do you mean “relate”?
    Just be friendly and over time you guys will enjoy each other’s company
    Tell her about something funny that happened that day or something.
    Don’t ask her like a bazillion “What’s your favorite” questions or anything like that.. they’re pretty annoying actually.

    Try asking her about what music she is into.
    If she is going out somewhere, tell her that she looks stylish but dont tell her this if she is dressed like something out of a horror movie! Just say you look nice or something.
    Try finding out things she likes doing off your wife and try to do one of them with her.
    14 year old girls are emotional and most of em at a stage where they are confused so dont take this too personally.
    Good luck!

    well, i’m fourteen and these are some of the things me and my mom have argued over.

    - sometimes she’ll just interrupt me and won’t let me finish what i am saying; it could be important, listen to her !

    - when she says she’s really not feeling good and can’t go to school; keep her home and take her to the doctor and get a school dismissal. my mom never would take me to the doctor or let me stay home and i’ll be really sick.
    and now i have 17 absent days and it’s because my school didn’t excuse them and she won’t let me stay home anymore..

    - ask her if she wants to go out for pizza. i like pizza; most kids like pizza. pizzas a good thing. then when your out for pizza ask her some questions about school and stuff; don’t get too personal (boyfriends,sex,personal stories) because really that makes us kind of uncomfortable.

    - go to her and tell her “You’re the first kid in my house that i’ve had to take care of. Maybe you haven’t noticed but i’m having a hard time relating to you. So i may seem mean and like i don’t know what i am doing, but i really don’t. so if you could try and help me that would make this easier on both of us”
    and with her help it probably will !

    You got NOOooooo chance.

    Girls this age are aliens. Just smile and ride it out.

    Whatever you do, don’t try to communicate. They bite.

    In 4 years or so she will morphe back into human form, love you dearly, see reason, talk sense once again……..and want to borrow the car…………Wait !

    well im a 14 year old girl and i am also a twinn

    we can tell when you make too much of an effort

    make conversation about the things that she likes

    ask her what music she listens to, what shops she likes to go to and ask her general questions

    just be really nice and she will come around eventually

    maybe take her out shopping and buy her a little something

    Good luck
