[QUOTE="ABS, post: 506819, member: 13718"] I didn't even consider drugs, to be honest. It would have to be at school, if she were, because she doesn't go anywhere outside of it unless she's with us. She has only one friend because she's been labeled as "the angry girl" and that one friend is pulling away. I guess I just wish there were a way to bandage her issues to stop the hemorrhaging. Obviously I don't think her problems will be resolved in a week, a month or even a year but if we could just get to the point where we're not constantly playing damage control. I don't even know how to punish her anymore. She's been grounded for three weeks now (starting from the first write up and it just continued after each one). We don't believe in spanking (we did at one point but stopped many years ago when we realized it wasn't for us). So aside from giving her a long list of chores (which she'll refuse to do) and writing sentences, I'm not sure what else to do. Her bus gets here in 10 minutes. I'm not the religious type but pray for us if you are. I see a night filled with melt downs by her and me trying to keep my toddler safe and away from it. [/QUOTE]
