[quote=Anonymous]My dd got into a great out of state public school with good merit aid.  However, now that she is choosing housing, she and a high school friend decided they want to be roommates.

DH and I do not like this friend.  She's had a troubled past and seems mentally unstable.  She has had drug problems and is sexually promiscuous and often acts out in dramatic ways to call attention to herself.  I have not forbidden my dd to have this friend (how could I, they see each other at school daily), but we've told our dd repeatedly that this friend makes bad decisions and to be careful around her.

My dd is fragile herself and doesn't have a strong personality, and I feel this roommate pairing could be a disaster.  Her merit aid depends on her keeping a good GPA, which has proven difficult for her, when she is mired down with other stressors during high school.

We want to tell her flat out no to this roommate choice, but want to softer with our delivery.
So what do we say/do?[/quote]
