[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe not exactly what you are looking for, but the Montgomery County Police have a Police Explorer program for kids in 8th grade or older.  They have to have a 2.0 GPA and no police record.   The program emphasizes character, discipline, honesty, leadership, and other critical life skills.  The kids I know who have done it have a great sense of belonging and accomplishment, and those things might be very attractive to her if she's in a bad place right now.   They learn about law enforcement as a career choice, but it's not the only thing they do.

Pathetic that her parents didn't care enough about her that they were incapable of o
instilling honor, chatacter, integrity in their daughter and at age 16, it is too late.[/quote]

No, it's not. Kids don't finish growing up until they are 25 or so.  They can become anyone or anything. I've known some really fucked up young people who became great adults.

It wasn't a boarding school or the parents, though. The kids decided what they wanted.

Some friends of my husband sent their son to a boot camp. It didn't help.  I would look for something that gives her both more freedom and more responsibility. A job or early college entrance or something similar.

And get that kid a Depo shot, before she ends up pregnant. [/quote]
