I have a 17 DS and a 16 year olf DD. My son has been in and out of trouble. He got expelled from school. He recently passed his GED and is working. I am trying to not jump down his throat about what he is going to do with his future, but finding it hard. I guess this is his future right now. My DD is doing well but I constantly worry about the outside influences she might encounter in her day to day life.
I don't know what I am looking for in this ivillage chat? I just need the support of some parents who have raised their teens or are raising them. I need to know their is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Hi there and welcome. I came here for the same reason :) I haven't been here long, but I really feel like reading others situations and concerns and solutions has been a huge help to me. I feel like I'm not alone LOL. I think that you'll really enjoy the board.
