Draw the line on behaviors of which you disapprove and enforce the promised result of misbehavior. Insist on being shown respect. I agree with Heyitsme87 that parents and children should also be friends, but that should never mean a lack of respect for the boundaries that the parent sets.

If they treat you like a friend then they'll be more open with you in the future.... may not be such a bad thing :P

it's perfectly possible to be a strong and friendly parent. have consistent boundaries and rules. don't take any crap.
but when be very supportive of her interests and praise her when she does well. the two things don't have to be mutually exclusive.

Don't be afraid to be really firm with her. Be consistent too. At that age they can detect your weaknesses and push your buttons. Her behavior will change when yours does.

You act like a parent. But what is so bad about her wanting to be friend like with you too?
