[quote=Anonymous]I think your daughter is old enough to make the decision herself, and it's a decision that can help dd grow.

I would sit DD down and talk about it - outline why you are worried (is the friend going to be vaping/high at the party, DD's other friends not showing up, etc) - and listen to your daughter.

Obviously the friend is young to be getting in this type of trouble, and that is troubling. But at the same time I also feel for the friend; she likely is feeling the effects of her action and probably feeling pretty isolated at the moment - poor girl might need some loyal friends like DD at the moment to take this mistake and turn it around. Smoking a bit of weed, even at such a young age, isn't a mistake that is irreversible, and alienating the poor girl and disinviting her from her social group isn't going to help her make better decisions; it's just gonna label her the druggie for who knows how long.

At around that age when I started smoking weed, and got caught similarly. Honestly, getting labelled as a druggie stuck with me well into young adulthood and was a huge reason I would later struggle with substance abuse myself - I was cut off from my former, more clean cut friends early in high school so I was drawn to a rougher crowd because they didnt care I had been caught smoking weed.[/quote]
