[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would take the concert away from her as a consequence.  She'll be spitting nails and mad as can be at you, but she needs to learn.

As well as personally apologize to everyone involved, including the custodian or other staff who had the fun pleasure of cleaning up after her antics.[/quote]

Kids should get one pass on bad mistakes. One. 
Show her kindness and as an example and let her go.[/quote]

No, she got SUSPENDED. No "Pass" for this.  I'm not saying the concert has to be the consequence, but you are really setting a dangerous precedent if she does something so dumb - and that is super dumb and obnoxious - that she gets suspended, then she needs to know you're not messing around.  Think of a holiday consequence that she will really really miss/regret if she doesn't get it/do it.

Also DO commend her for working hard in school and tell her that whatever other dynamics are there that you think aren't on her, that you understand those. But in the end she still had a choice, she chose wrong and participated, and she needs to understand that whatever serious consequence you DO enforce (and you must pick something that she really values), that is only the beginning of what will happen and what she will lose/consequences if she keeps hanging out with them or goes along with more ideas that are so clearly wrong again.[/quote]
