interesting video, as are the comments. I've raised three children to adulthood and having done so, I can say I have seen that behavior from my kids many times. I don't really think she was being disrepsectful. It seems she has a reason for being there and she not only wanted her voice heard, but she wanted her dad to see what she has been doing. Her dad being there is big news and and his being interviewed took away from the message and from time spent visiting her as a father. Parents of teens have been in situations such as this where we are careful not to upset our children. Not out of fear, but more because they are often fragile while navigating their journey to adulthood. They want to be taken seriously and we don't want to hurt them.
