How does your child act at home?

The below is a fiction story. My daughter is now at the age where she hates her parents. She often says, "Leave me alone'' or "None of your business," when we ask her. My husband and I wanna know who or what she's gonna do because she still needs parental supervision. Her close friend's brother smokes pot and stuff, though my daughter and her friend haven't done those yet. Besides that, her father goes in and out of prison. I'm worried she might be affected by the friend's family.

1. The definite article is redundant here.
2. The sentence sounded incomplete.
3. This is better word phrasing
4. This is less wordy and more straightforward.
I am afraid she is pretty rebellious at school as well. We want to suggest that she take some counselling. How does that sound?

Oh, come on. She won't need such counseling. She is talented and always has good grades like I used to do as a kid. Could you go through the classes a bit quicker, please? She seems to feel those are too slow and boring, so she is distracted by silly things, such as a relationship with a child from a crime family who is always the center of trouble in the area.

I understand that you're concerned about your daughter and that you want her to be successful. However, I don't think it's fair to compare her to you. Everyone learns at their own pace, and it's important to be patient and supportive. What are some of the things that you're doing to help your daughter adjust to her new school and make new friends?

She enjoys participating in Boy Scouts' activities and has a few good friends there. Still, the crime family affects her. She watched at their home a movie categorized as No One 17 And Under Admitted. She started being interested in rocket-propelled grenades, built a replica by herself, and brought it to a camp held by the Boy Scouts. I am sure what's important is getting involved in your children's lives. Then, should I understand her interest?

1, 4, and 6. This is better word phrasing
2. This is the proper word order.
3. This is a better word choice.
5. The adverb 'then' is redundant here.
