[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 418548, member: 11001"] Hello and welcome. Every bit of advise you have been given here has been solid. I second it especially: 1.No money and then lock up valuables because she will go for your stuff if she doesn't have money 2.Search her room regularly-clean it out if you find anything you dont like as a consequence, it makes it easier to go through (my daughter's room has basics only for last 6 months) 3.Have her friends at your house and meet the parents, share your concerns. If she only has one good friend- that's a problem and she needs to work through this in counseling (my daughter's one good friend helped her go down a path that has killed the last 2 years of both of their lives!) 4.I would add that you put the drivers license on the line right now (it didn't motivate my daughter but it did my son)"If you do not qualify for the good student insurance rate, you will not get a drivers' licence" 5. I would make and post rules and discuss consequences with her- Stay safe is one of those! 6. No cell phone-chances are it gets used for no good-tell her she'll have to earn it back I turned my daughter in for everything she did that was illegal. I did not want her to think breaking the law is ok. I'm hoping she learnes that now as a juvenile because the consequences are dire as an adult if she doesn't. Protecting them is a big mistake. Stay the course it will be long but working together with your husband will help! You will have support here. [/QUOTE]
