[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 414609, member: 1514"] Jena...you simply have to do what Dr Phil calls commando parenting for these last two months. It wont be easy and it might not do a bit of good because of her age but at least you will have tried. Take away all her toys. She doesnt need a computer to facebook all night long. That should be gone as of today...actually yesterday. Cell phone should be history. They do make landlines and pay phones. I would give her a quarter..or is it 50 cents now and tell her to keep it in her shoe. Even considering a car would be the last thing on my mind and she should be told that is completely off the table. She can work for one like most kids in this country have to do. College? Doesnt sound too likely and even if she does manage to squeak by, I doubt many will take her other than a community college and even then I dont think you have the financial means to fund it. She should be responsible for that too. You are NOT responsible for her after age 18. If you know she is drinking with friends, call the cops on her friends and her. Tell them where this drinking is going on. If some parent is allowing this to go on in their house or someone is buying the booze for these kids, they are committing a crime. If she leaves, let her. The cops are not going to look for a kid who is darned near 18. They have much more important things to do. [/QUOTE]
