[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 656231, member: 11791"] Reading between the lines, your daughters were already out of high school when you brought them to a new country. Were they honor students in the old country? What have they done for the last four years? Is English their first language? Are they involved in social and cultural activities related to your country of origin? Immigration is a huge challenge, and doubly so for young people. They want friends. They want to fit in. And too often, immigrant kids are left on the sidelines - they don't really fit in with any of the established groups. The one group that will take ANYBODY is the druggie group - use drugs, and you're an insider. If they have a strong enough social network based on country/culture of origin, they might have a better chance at avoiding the drug culture. [/QUOTE]
