[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Y'know, I drank with my parents at parties. They didn't believe in pot, but my dad gave me beer. It wasn't a big deal. Pot isn't either. The big deal is that you overreacted and lost your daughters trust. It isn't given automatically, and now you have to earn it back[/quote]

OP again. I know that almost every teen will experiment with pot at some point and that this country is slowly but surely heading towards legalization... I did raise DD in San Francisco. But occasional experimentation isn't the same as being surrounded by people who smoke on a regular basis. DD will be free to make her own choices within a year, but until then, I want to teach her that when it comes to drinking and smoking, it should all be in moderation, especially when her mind is still growing and developing.

I did overreact by mandating the chaperoning rule, and hope that giving her the freedom she deserves will make her feel better for being open and honest with me. I also realize that she had a very difficult social transition to make, and we should start looking for a therapist if she continues to show signs of potential depression.[/quote]
