Daddy Issues

My friend's little sister has what I call daddy issues. She can't get any attention from her father and never has; so, she tries to anyway she can. I don't think I've ever heard him talk to her when he wasn't yelling at her for something. So is this like a Frankenstein thing where he is to blame for creating the monster, or should this girl be held responsible for her actions? Is it really her fault that her dad never gave her any attention and now expects the worst from her? When she doesn't come home after school and he doesn't even realize it until he gets a call at three in the morning that she's in trouble, does it seem like maybe it's not really the girl's fault she's so messed up? How can she find herself in so much trouble without looking for it? I don't understand how he can yell at her for everything she does wrong, but then completely ignore her when she does something right. Especially since he has made it so there is nothing seemingly in it for her to do something right. If she comes home on time for the first time in three weeks, instead of going to go do God knows what with her friends, and he ignores her, why would she come home on time? What would make him starve her for attention like that? Is the girl responsible for what she does or is it all her dad's fault?
