16 Year old drinking...punishment?
| Sat, 04-08-2006 - 12:59am |
I am at a loss. My 16 year old just came home from a night out and she was obviously drunk. She has never been a problem until recently, she is good in school and sports etc. Lately she has been very secretive about where she is and who she is with.
My other two children were never a problem and I am not sure how to approach the subject with her tomorrow morning when she sobers up. Any suggestions on how to bring it up and what a punishment idea should be?
Any advice or suggestions would help
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the link. I'm always interested in stuff like this, b/c I think it drives the point home better for my kids than a million lectures - in this age of tech savvy kids, hey, whatever works. Are you sure the video is called Shattered b/c I did a search under that name and can't find it. I would love to rent it and watch it with my teens...
Thanks for the informaton. I'm going to ask my two if they've seen the video at school. I think I've heard it mentioned before.
It's scary, sometimes, being the parent of a teen. The fact that they think they are invincible makes it even scarier.

I, too, thought it was a good link, and just called them to order several of their products. "Shattered" is one of the titles - try looking on their "Store" link, and then scroll down until you see the subject "drugs". "Shattered" is listed under that.

Thanks for the link! I just ordered several of the dvds, including "Shattered" and am looking forward to watching them with my two kids.

Was she driving? If so, I would take away the keys to the car for a month. If not, you need to have a talk with her and let her know how dissapointed you are, and that you're not sure you can trust her at this point. Keep talking...
