[QUOTE="Jena, post: 216419, member: 4514"] It's so difficult I find dealing with teenagers, and so much easier in a sense handling the younger ones, their easier to manipulate LOL. Ok seriously though, dont mind me took cough syrup with codeine and flying right now a bit. have you tried taking away the things (material stuff) before? How did that work was there a "uh - oh" type of impression left on her and she went flying into work mode again? I find that with my own teenager, there's a fine line between taking away too much and leaving her feeling hopeless and "not caring" and not. I did the tough love approach this time, I felt i had to. Instead of taking away the "things" what I did was let her fail, bigtime. She got so bad she got an in house suspension. I tend to oversee what she does, keep up on hw, on talkign and emailing the teachers till finally i got to the point where i said ok this is what you want than go for it "fail away" it is your life. I knwo this was a tough approach to take, yet so far it's working!! When you say depression, i remember your posts yet is she medicated at this point or no?? sorry my memory stinks [/QUOTE]
