If she's anything like me, you constantly bringing it up will do more harm than good, overprotective parenting is one of the things that annoys me the most. I spent about 14 years not taking my monitoring seriously regardless of what people told me. Listening to people I don't look up to or respect(I know this sounds harsh) is not interesting, if there is someone that I admire that has some interesting story to tell regardless of the subject, that will be far more interesting than a parent pestering me. If she has someone like that, whether it's a musician or an athlete or businessperson or whatever, particularly if that person has had to overcome something like an illness or oppression or something like that, that will likely serve as a better awakening. At the end of the day, it's her body and it's her that needs to wake up in her own way.
Personally, I got fed up with my situation and decided to move to a different country by myself with nobody helping me out with anything except for finances. I was forced to take care of myself and when something went wrong it was my own fault, I had nobody to blame and just slam the door at.
