teenage problems

You have a near 16 yr old daughter who is doing a lot of things wrong but you know all about it and struggle with her but you get her all the help ex doctors , councilors and school and as hard as you try it all seems to fail . On the other hand you have a nephew who is 2 yrs older who hangs with your daughter who is and has done more **bleep** then her and his mother has absolutely no idea what he is and has been up to . He lied to his mother where he was last weekend and when photos were put on facebook and she seen them he lied straight to her face and told her they were from a few weeks ago , kids do this i know but the problem is he is really peeved off with my daughter and now hates her and is trying to turn their friends against her . His mother has basically wiped my daughter when her own son has done so much worse that she doesnt know about . She doesnt work and believes everything her son says and he in every adults eyes around is a golden head boy he is very good at this where as my daughter isnt and i know what she is doing . How would you deal with this .

There is nothing more I want than a beautiful mother daughter relationship and I dont want to kick her out , although there are problems I can honestly say she is still communicating with me this is how I know everything that is going on and always know where to find her . While there is communication there is always hope .

I don't want to be intrusive, and feel free not to answer ... but how has she caused you financial hardship? I guess I'm asking if it was accidental or deliberate/foolish.

Thanks for answering.

What does she want to do?

Is she interested in other ways of studying, or in working?

Is tutoring an option? Some kids respond better to one-on-one learning.

Is she changing her mind about aged care, perhaps?
