[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do sympathize with you, OP. But you have to make some decisions here. Either you take the reins with your child or the peer group will do it for you. And it doesn't sound like you are going to like the potential outcome there.

I don't think this is an issue so much of race/class. I think it's an issue of your child choosing to associate with the wrong type of kid just to get some attention (from what you have posted). You have also posted that she doesn't apply herself to her studies. How is that a race/class issue?

[b]I went to school in a poor school system most of my life, much poorer than what you'll find anywhere in the NEC schools. There were good groups and bad groups. I chose to hang with the nerdy kids and got great grades and went on to college, etc...[/b]

DD needs a firm parental hand and may need a new school... but I sincerely doubt that solves her internal picker when it comes to choosing the bad group of friends. Because these kids exist at every level of the socio-economic level. [/quote]
Me, too.  All AP/honors classes. We had real gang bangers at my school.[/quote]
