[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 525089, member: 2196"] It can't be sleep problems unless you consider sleeping too much to be a problem. Her Geodon makes her crash out at 8:00 and she sleeps all the way until 6:30. Lack of sleep is definitely not her problem. As far as the self medicating I would certainly hope not but I wouldn't necessarily put it past her either. I have taught her about the dangers of drug use extensively and she has watched shows like Intervention and Dr. Drew's Celebrity Rehab with me and she has seen firsthand how drugs can really screw somebody up permanently. I know that once teens are actually confronted with their peers taking drugs and offering them that it can be a whole other story. I work at a high school and I see it all the time. She also used to be grossed out everytime a boy talked about sex in front of her but now she enjoys it. She is always coming home telling me about how some friend of hers made a sexual joke or reference and she tells me she thinks it is hilarious. She used to be offended by it but no more. For a time she was throwing up every morning and she missed her period for three months so I just HAD to ask her if she could possibly be pregnant and of course she denied it. If she was lying to me and if she was actually having sex I have no idea where and when she would find the place and time to do it. She is always at school, daycare, or home with me so I don't really think she has much of an opportunity. She did ask me a few weeks ago if you can get pregnant if a boy gets on top of you but no sex and I'm wondering why she would even ask me such a thing. She is going to high school next year and I'm afraid she will have even more bad influences surrounding her. She will be in all SDC classes except art. She will be hanging around kids with various mental/emotional disorders for most of the day. I just hope and pray that she finds some new friends that are a good influence for once. [/QUOTE]
