It's very difficult to home school as a single parent. You basically have to be in business for yourself or have a work from home job. Not many places let you bring your kid to work with you. And leaving a teenager home alone they are going to do anything but school work while unsupervised.

At age 16, I remember not wanting to listen to my father and finding faults in him. It was sinful of me because I'm supposed to honor him. I went through a rebellious phase. That rebellious phase was dangerous, surrounded me with bad people, experimentation with drugs, chasing the wrong kind of women, etc. I survived it and got past it and focused my effort at about age 22.

Anyways, I hope you work it out with your daughter. This world tries so hard to corrupt young women. She's not going to want to hang out with you much at age 16. So it's important to just try to help her meet good friends.

The key is probably communication. There's lots you probably want to say to her that you can't because it might be awkward or she is resistant to listening. There's probably some feelings she has bottled up inside that she doesn't feel comfortable talking to you about. Getting people to open up requires some skill.

I'm a father too. My kids aren't teenagers yet, but I'm learning my way. The fact we are even discussing this means you are a good father who cares about your daughter.
