| My DD was a curious, well rounded A student, until this year when she started getting facial piercings (her school doesn't allow them so i have to force her to take them out), attempting parkour with her new, druggie, "bape" friends who have gotten her into marijuana and alcohol, and using slang. I honestly don't know what happened to her. please help |
also: i forgot to mention that she frequently calls her friends and other acquaintances words she shouldn't be using like the n word, and the f word, among others |
| Hun, I don't know how you should approach this. With my kids I would just sit them down, talk to them in a calm manner so they don't get any rebellious ideas and make them realize that what they are doing isn't the path they need to be taking at such a young age. |
Thank you! I tried this a couple of months after it started, but unfortunately, it still continued. I'm honestly contemplating rehab at this point |
How are you allowing this to go on? I mean, she is still living in your house, correct? Where is she getting money for the drugs/piercings? |
| Have you put into consideration that the school may be playing a roll in your childs misbehavior? |
|
I would come down hard. No money, no phone, no nothing.
|
I don't. When I lay down the law, i.e. cutting off her phone and ground her and whatnot, she might listen for a couple days and then she'll run off to her friends' houses. Everything is supplied by the friends, and they also do her piercings |
Definitely not. DD has been at what's considered a "Big 3" since 5th grade and thrived academically until last year. Her "friends" are mostly from wilson, dunbar, and bcc |
When my brother came home with a piercing my father didn't like, he made him stay on the front porch until he took it out. If he didn't take it out, he wasn't allowed in the house. May seem harsh- but nothing you are doing/aren't doing is working. Is there a dad? |
How??? Even if there are drugs at the school, which there are in EVERY school, doesn't mean that the DD has to do them. |
| I am the father, hello! Pardon my poor excuse of an attempt to write on here, it's my first time here. My wife and I are just concerned for our child and we want the best for her. |
I would do this, but I'm worried about what would happen to her if she stayed outside, as in, would she run away and not go to school and leave town? (also we live in a condo, so unfortunately that wouldn't work) DH will be contributing to this thread as well |
Wow. Then I have nothing. Sorry, OP. More experienced posters will hopefully come along and help you. |
sorry, to clarify, i misspoke, she doesn't do them YET, but her friends are pressuring her, and when i go through her texts, she seems to be interested. |
