[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 460784, member: 1550"] Sadly, there are a lot of kids who have sex at twelve and even eleven. We live in a fairly small town and daughter spent one year going to the "big city" school (maybe there are 2000 kids there max, but to us it's a big city school). She told me stories that made me feel ill. Not only was their sex in the middle school...there was a lot of it, depending on who you hung out with. My daughter wanted to go back to our small, safe school after one year. Since we have School Choice here, we were able to do that, thankfully. I don't think that it is the friend's fault that Niece had sex. I see it another way. I had one c hild who was very easily influenced by her peers and she got into drugs early because of that. In retrospect, I see that as a problem SHE had...a problem with being able to say "no." The problem followed her around for many, many years. Now I have another daughter who is fifteen that can NOT be forced into doing ANYTHING. I worry far less about her. Niece has to learn not to give into peer pressure or there will be more trouble down the road. Even if this friend goes away, she is choosing to hang around with "high risk" kids, like my daughter did. There ARE kids around who don't get into trouble, but she isn't friends with them. I don't know what you and Mom could do...maybe a better therapist would help. I certainly couldn't stop Daughter from her destructive behavior and friends until she decided to change her life...(((Hugs))). been there done that [/QUOTE]
