When parents struggle to connect with teenage children

My daughter and I used to be close but since she started high school she barely talks to me, and I know some of this is normal teenage stuff but I also worry I'm doing something wrong or missing something important. When I try to connect she seems annoyed, when I give her space I feel like I'm abandoning her.
