Controlling a person and controlling behavior are two different things. That said, at age 15, if you haven't taught them right by now, you're not going to be able to control their behavior either.
Even when I heard the content of her letter, I didn't think it was that bad. Don't most teenagers think this stuff, write in a diary, etc. at some point? Doesn't everybody have those days when they hate their parents, as teens? My mom and I had a great relationship but she destroyed my world with rules sometimes and I would be royally ticked off. This kid put a rant about her parents on Facebook and excluded her family and church people from seeing it. She didn't do drugs. She didn't come home pregnant. She didn't kill someone or steal. She ranted about her parents.. something teens do every single day. And we know where she learned the swear words too, don't we?
