i don't know the situation. nor do i know what came before that. perhasp neice had been playing bf and had been told no. my feelin gis, if your sister is too controlling, a younger child will go along with it (altho may act out) but a teen will most definitely act out. there are so many aspects to discipline, it's hard to know from jsut this one example.
