[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 414371, member: 3493"] I'm not as forceful about difficult child's grades as I want to be because he just shuts down and I have decided that him having friends is better than him having top grades. He is in honors/AP's and he will shut down if I push too hard. Jena - If she refuses to go to college because she doesn't have a car, then she's not ready for college. I took the bus to college and then the subway into the city for my job. A car was not even a dream for me. If she's drinking and you know it and let her drive, you can be sued for something called negligent entrustment. My friend is going through this now - insurance might not cover everything if the jury assesses punitive damages. in my humble opinion, she has lost the privilege of a car - a car is NOT a right. It's hard to know how much of this is typical teen senioritis angst and how much other stuff is going on. Is she still being shunned by her boyfriend over the shoplifting thing? She could be really scared about graduating. Is she on track? Has she passed all 5 regents? Does she have all her requirements in? [/QUOTE]
