[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD has gone from a sweet, popular girl with sports, clubs, and honor roll to a straight up baddy.  I suspect she vapes, she's dating a rebel type boy and is just letting everything slip. How do we stop this train?? She says she's in love.  She has new friends now. Doesn't seem as into her sport or clubs though we still insist she attend.  Before anyone blames our parenting, we have clear boundaries and those are respected but we don't know how to control the crowd she's selecting to be with - in the name of love!!! lol [/quote]

I am glad you put the part about not blaming your parenting. It seems like it just makes some people's day to pile on and blast people, especially when they can do so anonymously. Kids are kids. As a long time teacher and as a parent myself, I have seen time and time again kids who grow up in the same household choose vastly different paths. Your daughter is caught up in "love" and any attempt to dissuade her is probably going to make her bristle and claim that YOU are the one who doesn't get it. 
I guess the crappy thing is that nobody can really help ya because the dynamic between parents and their kids is so unique. Somebody will, however, most likely come here and blame you. Screw em[/quote]

I agree with you.
