[Superman]

I've raised two daughters. The relationship between a teenaged girl and her mother is very similar to the relationship between a snake and a mongoose. That part is normal. The hormonal mood swings are normal for all females.

What is troubling is this notion that there is something going on, some specific thing bothering her, that she cannot talk about. That is unacceptable. If she won't talk to you, or her mother, get her to counseling. I can remember feeling trapped in certain social problems at that age. The real problem is that I did not have enough ways of evaluating the situations, nor was I aware of all the alternatives. Your daughter needs to find a way out of her current "trap," without leaving the country.
