[quote=Anonymous]When my daughter was 15 she made a conscious decision to begin hanging around with less academically minded friends and start hanging out with the "fun" crowd. Another mom clued me in to some behaviors I was unaware of and shocked by. I grounded her for a year. She wasn't allowed to do any overnights anywhere, or have others overnight at our house, and she had to come straight home from school. Evenings and weekends she hung out with her family instead of friends. It curbed the opportunity for the sketchy behavior and kept her out of trouble for that year. It did not totally change her point of view. She did thank me a few years later, she said she was in some ways relieved to have an excuse to say no to the new friends. She's a stubborn one, and even now as an adult she likes to party, although her life is otherwise successful and on track. I didn't change her by grounding her but I changed the year she was fifteen.[/quote]
