[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, Ignore the mean replies above. I feel for you. DD went through a period in middle school where she did some things that resulted in calls from other parents (not partying but some impulsive acts like stealing and lying). We had her in therapy and definitely were on top of things. As a former goody two-shoes and former mental health professional I was aghast.  I felt uncomfortable knowing other parents were judging so I did pull away from a lot of friends and found myself avoiding certain social situations. It was very isolating. A few years later she is in a much different place. She is a happy, pleasant teen who has worked through her issues and receives lots of praise from adults at school and friends’ parents. And now some of the kids of the judgy parents are struggling with various issues. Most of the parents have no clue because a lot happens behind their backs. It is a positive that you know and are dealing with the situation. I now make it a point to be less judgy and more accepting of other people’s teens as a result of that experience. The important thing is you are trying to help your teen. Hang in there![/quote]

And, some parents do have a clue and pay attention to what their kids are doing and supervising them.  You clearly weren't supervising and didn't know.[/quote]
