Your just turned 17 year old daughter is beginning to be mouthy and independant (to say the least). She is failing a coupld of subjects and was recently forbidden to go to a friends wedding.

While you are working a part time job on Saturday, she comes to your job and tells you she is going to the wedding anyawy.

You tell her if she does you are taking the car away. You get home and she has left a note with the keys saying do what you gotta do.

Now what do you do?
