I am the youngest of three. My older brothers gave my parents a segnificant amount of difficulty including going to juvinial detention. My parents tryed there best but it happens. So once they got to me they kind of gave up and let me do my own thing but they also thought I was the "good kid". And I was a great kid 3.5 gpa, choir Presidant,in all A.P.classes, varsity cheerleader and I was a vary good Company Ballet Dancer till I started smoking Marijuana in high school and i would steeling my moms vicoden now and then, which I still kept good grades well doing. However I started going to college partys staying out way later then a high schooler should. And thats When I found Heroin which changed my life forever. My Sr. year from being dope sick I skipped an entire 9weeks worth of school all together and I almost dident graduate my final gpa was a 1.9. I was also kicked out of the ballet company losing my life long passion. Also It did more harm to my family with everything I put them threw...Now if only I wouid have had a curfew or a nagging mother I may not have ended up An Addict. Though I have been in recovery since dec/10/2010 I still have to live with the repercussions and this never ending war because addiction never goes away. You have no idea how lucky you are that your parents love you so much and they just want to protect you so you dont make mistakes and go down the path that myself and so many other young adults haveWith Gracenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285812026509923711.post-13871012492567066762011-02-19T11:40:13.222-05:002011-02-19T11:40:13.222-05:00Anonomous - I think its great that you have excell...Anonomous - I think its great that you have excellent grades and earned a scholarship to college. That, however, does not mean that you "earned" the right to use your parent's car to drive yourself to school or to set your curfew while living in their house. Understand, it is THEIR car and THEIR house. When you have your own car and live on your own, you will be free to make those decisions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285812026509923711.post-90450128928560641172011-01-16T18:21:42.777-05:002011-01-16T18:21:42.777-05:00anonymous - maybe you have A's and a scholarsh...anonymous - maybe you have A's and a scholarship because of the 5 year old boundaries your parents set.

He had admitted to me one time that if he wants to get his way, he waits until I am in the middle of something else or I am at work because he knew I would be distracted enough that I just might give him the answer he is looking for. He also knew that I would not argue my reason for saying no to him when I am at work so it was just easier for me to give in.Lorrienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285812026509923711.post-32571453178346059732009-05-23T19:40:13.598-05:002009-05-23T19:40:13.598-05:00As a teenager, some of your parents are just incor...As a teenager, some of your parents are just incorribible. I'm a senior in high school I've got straight A's and a full scholarship to college and they still treat me like I'm fucking 5 years old. I have yet to drive to school, and yet to have a decently appropriate curfew. My older two brothers are the deliquents in the family! Why the hell am I taking the fall?!

There is not much of a forum on the website (we would like to change that) but we invite you to attend any of the meetings shown in the calendar.<BR/><BR/>I think you would really gain a lot by attending a meeting before your daughter's court date.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285812026509923711.post-67471368906476623642009-03-26T10:06:00.000-05:002009-03-26T10:06:00.000-05:00My daughter, although 18, is a senior in high scho...My daughter, although 18, is a senior in high school scheduled to graduate in June 2009. She has begun using this school year and is in extreme danger of not graduating. She has also stolen from some classmates, been caught, and is now facing a court hearing and some hefty fines. My question is, is this forum for parents of adult children (at least what this country considers adult children - I have my own opinion on what, exactly, the legal age of adulthood should be)?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8285812026509923711.post-79954646060429195832009-01-21T21:13:00.000-05:002009-01-21T21:13:00.000-05:00This is so true, just an another way to keep us of...This is so true, just an another way to keep us off balance.
