Mark Twain once advised parents that when their child turns 13 they should put them in a barrel, close the lid, and feed them through a hole in the side. When they turn 16, Twain suggested parents close the hole!

She'll come around once she realizes you guys aren't nearly as stupid as she thought you were. Adolescents sever the dependence on their parents in many different and sometime awkward ways. I don't think there is much you can do but provide the unconditional support they need to get past the teen self absorption. Parents can and do screw this up by throwing up boundaries as if they were dealing with a willful child rather than a budding adult. Tread carefully, be supportive and hopefully watch the kid turn into an adult.
