This is a question for teenage girls. My daughter and I have always been very close. She's always been very open with me and willing to share things about school, friends, boys, etc. Now that she's 13, though, things have changed some. Sometimes I can tell she's upset about something, but when I ask her what's wrong, she doesn't want to talk about it. I realize this is normal, that she wants some privacy and doesn't need her mom butting in on everything. But I also know it sometimes helps to talk about things instead of keeping them inside. I want her to know that I'm here for her and that she can tell me anything. Should I keep trying to get her to talk, or should I just leave her alone and hope she'll open up if she needs me? (link)

im 16, so my mom and i have been through this more than a few times. im sure she knows it, but just remind her that you are there for her if she needs help or someone to turn to. that being said, she is growing up and she has to learn how to deal with things on her own. my mom and i are close, but i dont tell her everything. if its a serious problem that cant handle, im going to go to her. if its a little stress, but nothing over the top, i stick to my own instincts & my friends. if i make a mistake, then i know for next time. she has to live through stuff. people can tell her and tell her and tell her the things they went through, but she'll never know unless she lives it [assuming nothing deadly is going on], and it'll make her much more independent and self-reliable.
like said previously, dont pressure her or accuse her of not wanting to talk to you. my mom has done that to me, and it is not a way to get someone talkin.
good luck!

its normal. after youve been with someone that long, its just natural. i mean think about your family and best friends.. you've been with them for ages and im sure yall have stupid little gripes & fights alot of the time right? ive been with my boyfriend for 10 months, and we used to be basically joined at the hip, but lately weve been gettin in stupid little fights. it just happens. when yall start to get tense with each other, just let it go. no matter if you think youre right or whatever, just change the subject, walk away, get off the phone, whatever. just avoid it. if its somethin you really think you need to talk about, then just do that, TALK about it. dont yell about it. as hard as it sounds, it IS possible to talk without yelling. if you dont yell or get an attitude about something, he shouldnt have a reason to either. keeping your cool will help. but the minute you raise your voice or start acting cocky, its basically instinct for the next person to do so as well. hope thats helps a little, good luck!
