[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We went through this and just dealt with our own kid. I had no evidence about others and frankly didn't consider it my business.  And I did not assume that my kid was an innocent bystander. And the other kids were not "the wrong sort", just smart kids doing dumb stuff.

[b]We grounded, drug tested (nothing else found), and are much stricter on activities and supervision. [/b] So far so good. Grades back up and better attitude. [/quote]

We did this also -  we created a rock bottom by a harsh and extended grounding - no phone, no computer, no activities, nothing. We did not drug test, but our doctor recommended buying some and doing it periodically just to show them that you will. Our most recent issue is alcohol, and I did buy a breathalyzer. Repeating same grounding process, and it appears to be working. Unfortunately my kid appears to have to keep learning the same lesson again, but with slightly different issues. Very frustrating. Hang in there, but definitely come down hard.
