[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 589045, member: 1550"] Thanks, Jane. You know, I've already told her that even in high school sometimes sick people put stuff in your drinks, even just plain soda. But it probably bears a reminder...over and over again. Jumper isn't attracted to drama or partying, but she can only play one sport in college. I'm just crossing my fingers that her common sense stays with her in college. She already has a lot of "friends" who are doing things like using pot and having sex and one is pregnant and she won't desert her "friends" but none of them are her choice as to who to hang out with. Right now I trust her implicitly. I hope she remains like s he is while at college. If she goes to LaCrosse Tech, which is MY first choice for her and a school she did like, the dorms are supervised and there are less kids and I think she'll be fine. There are two big colleges right down the road, the University of Wisconsin, LaCrosse and some Catholic school. But I know Jumper and, aside from visiting friends who already go to those colleges, she will probably get very into the college she is at. Because of her Learning Disability (LD)'s I much prefer she start out at a GOOD tech school and transfer to a four year college when the time comes. She will do much better academically if she goes slower and I don't care if it takes her six years to become a social worker. I just want her to attain her dream and not mess up and start to party badly in college. [/QUOTE]
