Meet Rachel Canning.

The New Jersey teen is the talk of the nation after she unsuccessfully requested Tuesday to have her parents pay her tuition and give her $2,600 a month in child support after she moved out of their home two days before turning 18 last fall, amidst a number of disagreements with her parents.

Canning, a senior and cheerleader at Morris Catholic High School, was clad in her school uniform in the courtroom Tuesday as State Superior Court Judge Peter Bogaard shot down the request, saying a win for the "spoiled" youth could create a "potentially slippery slope" in legal precedents between parents and children.
