[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 222715, member: 3208"] Hi Jennifer, just responded to your other thread but I wanted to say if you think a boarding school will keep her out of trouble you are so wrong! My boss at work has regaled me with tales of her younger brother at boarding school. Unless your dtr is in a lockdown facility (mine was) she will find a way to circumvent the rules if she wants to. Also, I am concerned that your dtr is going to feel very rejected by you--that you can't handle her, she is such a terrible person. She really needs you more than ever, just in a different way. She needs to know you are there no matter what and that you can handle anything she throws at you. You are her role model whether you like it or not. She needs to see that adults can handle yucky situations and needs to see how to do it. I guess I am coming at this from the perspective of someone who did have a kid who was incorrigible--I just don't see your dtr that way, she sounds like a normal, typical teen. She isn't running away from home, doing drugs, sleeping with a bunch of guys, etc. My dtr was doing all of that by the age of 13 I think. Anyway, please don't panic and please realize a 15 yr old girl has strong sexual desires--I know I sure did! Hugs, Jane [/QUOTE]
