[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 222703, member: 1233"] Jen, Boarding school won't fix it. My dad used to point out the orange barrels along the road when we took road trips at Christmas. (We lived in OK, his family in OH - I stayed up with dad, bro with mom during nighttime driving). Dad told me that EACH barrel contained a teen who flagrantly disobeyed a parent - and they were there until age 21. That was why there were so many orange barrels. ALL I had to do was behave WELL and there would be no orange barrel for me. (OK, so my dad was goofy, but it got the point across, LOL). Surprisingly, my mom had NO idea he told me that!!! My bro DESERVED an orange barrel!!! Anyway, the best thing you can do is to understand that kids have sex. Arm her with the tools to be safe and the knowledge you love her no matter how mad you get. Or how mad she gets. I hope that she can make better choices and that she decides that Rin is enough of a challenge that she doesn't want a child of her own at an early age. I am so sorry she hurt you this way, by betraying your trust. [/QUOTE]
