'Teenage daughter hates us and family life is so miserable'

A parent writes to Coleen, a columnist for the Daily Mirror, seeking advice about their strained relationship with their 16-year-old daughter. The teenager has become increasingly difficult to manage, often arguing over minor issues, threatening to leave the house, and displaying hostility toward her parents. Recently, she disappeared for a night after an argument, claiming she was simply taking a walk. The parent describes the household as miserable, noting that while the daughter appears content at school and with friends, she seems to hate her family. Coleen responds by attributing the behavior to typical challenges of adolescence, including social pressures, exam stress, and hormonal changes. She suggests that the parents remain calm, avoid escalating conflicts, and encourage open communication to help their daughter feel supported.
