[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 381369, member: 7371"] PatriotsGirl, So sorry you are going through heck with her. But at this age, she has to straighten out her own life; you can't do it for her. What you can do, though, is let her know that you won't tolerate this behavior in your home. If she leaves in the middle of the night without your permission, you can report her as a runaway. If she has privileges like a phone, use of a car, etc., the privileges can be withheld. As far as the baggie with powder, you could take it to a private drug screening facility, or to your local police department. They likely will have someone who can identify the substance. If you're finding this stuff and she acknowledges that she has friends who are using (like the girl who tried to OD), there's a good chance that she's using too. You may have to put the college concerns on the back burner. This is more serious and will need to be addressed first. She can always start college later. Disappointing, I know. It's so hard to see our kids make these awful choices. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
