[QUOTE="Rotsne, post: 213864, member: 6326"] I just returned from a meeting. She is NOT going to any boarding school for troubled teens as the continuation schools (Efterskole) are. I have made it clear that I won't pay for it and as the times are right now the town can either, so she stays here. As far as the language concern it is voluntary that we dont speak foreign languages at home. There is no ban, but our authorities did some 5 years ago discover that those immigrants who continued to learn their children their own language lowered those children possibility to ever be a productive citizens in our country. 5 year ago you could even get education in our native language paid publicly. It is over now and our government had made it very clear that they will intervene if the children speaks Danish poorly when they start in school. Over 90 of all children in Denmark are now in nusery, kindergarten or other pre-school programs. I have spoken with my children very much lately about their concerns attending youth parties. We are not talking of any mental condition that should require any medication, but they don't like to be among huge crowds and also do not like performing in school plays or standing up presenting their work in class regardless of the fact they are receiving good grades. They are simply shy and in my world there is nothing wrong with that. At my work I even prefer shy employees because they perform well and dont cause so much trouble. Just to prepare my daughter for the party she is going to be at for just some hours just to show her face and convince people that she is not on her way to become a terrorist threat. We have been at the doctor to have her shoot with something we call "P-stick". It is small stick which is shoot into the upperarm and once inserted she cannot get pregnant for three years. It is quite common here for young girls to have such a shoot every 3 years until they are 18. She wasn't planning to have sex. Her biggest fear was to be "drunk under the table" and being taken advancing off. We won the continuation school fight and that is a milestone. Things are beginning to look a little brighter.
