[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, I’m sorry you’re going through this. I also have a 13 year old. We haven’t faced this yet but [b]I feel mine is also running with a bit of a fast crowd in school and I’m not happy about it. Her friends outside of school are not that way so we encourage more time with them, but let’s face it, they spend most time with the kids in school.[/b] She is “pressured” to do things I don’t think she’d normally do, and we’ve talked about that, and how pressure will get worse as she gets older. [b]She is easily influenced by others and wants to fit in and be cool. [/b]

We are very involved parents, have family dinners, she’s into sports, has limits on her phone, does charity work and attend church regularly, etc. [b]If they wanna hide stuff from you, they can. And they’re all very good liars. [/b]

For those of you saying change schools, or public/private is the answer — not always. Mine is currently in a small special needs private and I’m finding the kids are worse there than in public. For now, she needs that school for the academic help, but I actually can’t wait to move her out. There’s pros/cons to either choice.
