[quote=Anonymous]She's doing it because it's pissing you off. I suspect she may not litter when on her own. As another PP said, she's rebelling. Teens *have to* rebel, and if they are not allowed to rebel in harmless ways, they will go underground and rebel in worse ways. So while the littering is not exactly harmless to the environment, it's harmless to her in that it's not like she's frying her brain on crack. Teens get a dopamine surge when you notice and comment or get riled. This ensures that they will do it again. So you have to ignore it. It won't go away immediately but it will go away after they test you multiple times and you do not react. (they have to test you multiple times, because you reacted before. If you had never reacted, it would have ended sooner) (from Yes Your Teen is Crazy--book)[/quote]
