My daughter is now 16 and i give her a lot more freedom now but if she crosses the established rules she gets a grounding with no tv (unless the family is collectively watching it) no phone, no music. She has to stay in family areas and she is allowed to read. It is VERY affective in our case. She HATES it but she will comply. Not all kids are the same though. Some kids would simply rebel more with this tactic.
Perhaps you could have her do some research for report relating to the dangers of her behavior. Stats for teen pregnancy, incidents of potential date assaults... Perhaps the report can be used to take some time off of a grounding. Sometimes when a child blocks out a parent's concerns, prompting them to process the risks from sources they seek out puts things into a new perspective.
Either way, GOOD LUCK.
