I have a daughter who will be 16 years old this summer. Unlike other girls, however, she doesn't want any party. She has plenty of friends at school and church, but doesn't want anything except a small goft.
is this so.ewhat normal for certain teenagers or should I be worried?
I thought about throwing a surprise party by inviting some of her friends secretly, but knowing my daughter, she may not appreciate much and regard such thing as disrespecting her opinion.
We've done her birthday parties up until a couple of years ago and since she was little older than 14, she didn't want to bother any events where she was the center of attention.
I would appreciate any feedback from parents who had teens going though high school and puverty.

FYI we have "normal" conflicts and arguments with her but have very open and good relationship. Even she mentioned many times and compared herself to her peers how they are lacking interaction and conversation with their parents, especially with dads.
