[QUOTE="clive, post: 321583, member: 5132"] Thanks for the input. Although I only mentioned weed, my daughter also has revealed a huge list of drugs she had taken in the past. I'm not naive about the possibility that she could still be using, or interested in adderall for something other than focusing in school. It's a tough call--it's been about a year now that she's been on probation, which included a rehab facility and 3/4 house for a while, where she was monitored closely for any substance abuse. Since she's been home, she's had random drug testing, and tested clean. She's back in school, and seems to be trying hard, but has already had to drop 2 classes because she got too far behind--actually absenteeism was what made her get so far behind. Why does she skip so much? She says she goes, but often gets distracted, loses all concentration, and leaves at break time or between classes. Of course, this would be easy for any high school kid to say, and our response would be the usual disciplinary stuff, consequences, etc... but this has been going on with her for years, and nothing makes her change this behavior. She repeatedly states she really wants to get through high school and graduate, and says she tries her hardest. Her instructors say she does well, when she's there, and does the work. Anyway, thanks for your responses, I read through some old posts that mentioned adderall, and they do mention the fact that it's a drug that's often sold on the street, which makes me hesitant to help her get ahold of it. But on the other hand, if she needs the kind of help that would benefit from medication (which, by the way, I'm not a big fan of), I am open to giving it a try. [/QUOTE]
