[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have the same issues with my DD. Also about to begin high school. She has been talking to a counselor but the behavior has not improved. The counselor has not suggested am evaluation for ADHD or anything else. 
It’s frustrating and frightening. Taking the phone away is not the answer. High school aged kids need to be able to socialize normally, they need to fit in with their peers and they need to take responsibility for their behavior.  I wish I could offer advice to you OP. I can only commiserate. [/quote]

I am sorry but this sounds insane. High school kids engaging in extremely dangerous and self-destructive behavior do not need phones. [/quote]

But they may (often do) need people they don't know to talk to socially (in addition to talking to the people they do know), and they need outlets/targets/endeavors that are healthy for them to focus their immense emotional and physical energy.

Imagine keeping an energetic pet inside and locked up because it has so much energy; the draconian containment would be cruel

Please consider compassion[/quote]
