If you only knew specifics. 

Loved one I do not need specifics…. age and responsibility carries it’s own weight😊

I'm not going to say much about rcc,I was a hot headed Italian raised by an Italian catholic family --- we can only really lead by example,I hope that you will come to know the very personal & intimate love of our Heavenly Father in Christ Jesus- your hot head will pass away when you have Christ Abiding in you- then with the Heart & Mind of Jesus you can have Peace that surpasses all understanding,exceeding Joy and Comfort in all things

Going to church on Sunday & confession on Saturday,trying to keep God's Commandments & the Law is not the Way,the Truth & the Life -Jesus is❤️

Work out our own Salvation with fear & trembling is God's Word,we cannot help anyone else alone but you can do ALL things in Christ Who Strengthens you.Your daughter is a big girl now,she's accountable for her actions as we all are--- if she cannot respect the rules of the house she can live on her own and do as she pleases,no need for screaming & fighting" I provide your shelter,I set the rules" period,! 

But you will get nowhere fast at this rate my friend-find your own Peace first.Have you accepted,by Faith,Jesus as your Lord and Savior?Do you Know Him personally or only know about Him? That is the difference between religions and Relationship-read the Word of God( the Bible & seek Him with all of your heart,mind and soul ....church can't do it for you,you must ❤️

With love in Christ, Kwik

How can I get her to be a better person and dress appropriately?  She has a terrible reputation in town.  In addition to being intimate with certain types of people god would not condone. 

Some of the advice here has been rude, some well intended but glib... curt.

1. You can only do so much in preparing your children to make life decisions for themselves

2. Human nature + being an adult = grief for loved ones more often than not.

3. In most cases all you can do is pray and let them know you are there for them

4. To help when their life comes crashing down...

From Adam and Eve to the last parents that will ever exist... this is about the best advice you can give or get. God gave human beings choice... and with a fallen sin nature the choices tend to be mostly...

Yes!

Talk to her then about the fact that Jesus loves her and is interested in everything about her life.

He will help her no matter where she is in life.

Pray with her and for her.

I think a lot has to do with the company she keeps.  They all dress inappropriate and act with a sense of entitlement.  Its almost as if their actions don't affect others.

Why?  As. Roman Catholic that’s what we do. 

Because it is all about legalism and punishment. And not only in the RCC but many protestants run their household that way. It makes the children feel always judged by outward appearances, observed and judged in everything they do. And because God is used as the hammer over their head, they see Him that way too and can't wait to escape the tyranny. They instinctively know what the church does not, that they are helpless to live up to the demands of holiness, but as God has become the enemy to them they avoid the One who stood and died in their place. And the RCC does not really teach that Jesus did that.

We should teach by example the love and wisdom of God. But first we have to know those things ourselves. Find a place where they feel alive and accepted, and breathing room to be themselves. Unfortunately and a sad state of affairs it is, that is often with those things and people who have always been forbidden. They already feel like one of the rejected.
