Why is my teen-age daughter stealing?...

I agree with Ibram. I am also a teenager, and A seems very likely. It is either those, or that she wants a thrill of some sort. I'm sure that this has already been mentioned, but just to be sure, I wanted to post it myself. Doing something wrong, especially illegal, can be a huge rush, and getting away with it just adds to the high, so to speak. A few years back, I was with some friends who were shoplifting, and I knew about it. I didn't even do the stealing, and I still felt great. If this is the case for your daughter, I suggest telling her about some other activities that might give her a similar thrill or rush. For example, rock climbling or repelling.
