My daughter is 16 and she started college, but when she is home she is rude and she doesn't help out how can I motivate her to behave?
@Maxinetwells,
What have you tried so far?
You are giving her money, right?
I would make rules with well spelled out financial consequences for each.

The problem with that is, spambots fall under the control of Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics.
Quote:A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
Violence may not be an option.

Simple! Let her leave college! It is a very dangerous thing and is making her crazy!!
All your threads are about how you can control/change your children. I think that might have something to do with it.
@Maxinetwells,
Cattle prod . . . you need a cattle prod.
Tell her you're going to pull her out of college and put her back in high school where she belongs until she's 18.
