Meant to add: Set some strong boundaries for you, your home, things etc and stick by them

Best of luck and don't forget to laugh.

Yes house rules and boundaries, set those to begin with and at this point they are black and white, no gray areas. This is the way it is.........Home at 11, no excuses, not 11:15 doors lock at 11 whatever the rule NO gray area, until she learns not to push your buttons and stretch the rules every day

See the thing is teenagers have all the answers, they just don't know all the questions yet and when they learn the questions they forget the answers.

To say I understand is an understatement!
To say I have walked this very similiar path with my own daughter and using the tough love approach was the hardest, but in the end she thought that by becoming sexually active she was an adult. Yeah! NO!
What I did was try and make up for the lack of stuff in my life with my daughter.
I wanted to be her friend so when she talked back or got smart it was because she was treating me like a friend. I finally had enough and asked her "Do you really talk to your friends that way?" her reply was "Yes" She received a prompt "I am NOT your friend a I am your mom!" That seemed to be a BIG AHA! moment. My house, my car, my food, my gas, my rules you can't follow them you need to take your adult thinking self and do just that. Be an adult! Move out! She did. It killed me.
I know it hurts, I know it hurts to read the stuff she is posting on FB. What others are telling you is true, she needs to fall flat on her bum. You really aren't alone if you want to talk in a pm I am here.
