[QUOTE="Andy, post: 223927, member: 5096"] I understand. Just thinking that this person could be somewhat of a mentor and show her what is available for good clean appropriate fun when she is allowed out of the house. Your easy child will be 16 soon and will be fighting even harder for her independence. The more you can get her involved in positive activities the better chance for her to find friends who are on the right path. I was so angry when my easy child turned 16. I read her the riot act on her birthday because she woke up with the attitude of, "I am 16 - I can do whatever I want - all household rules are gone!!!" A diva in the truest sense of the word. I guess I ruined that birthday too but didn't want her thinking she could totally start disobeying me just because she was 16. She is 18 now and does not listen and will not always tell me where she is going - however, I do see more and more glimmers of hope for the two of us. She has been somewhat more respectful lately. You are doing great though and I do agree that for a long time she gets to be grounded outside school and volunteer work. [/QUOTE]
