My teen's behaviors.

I have a 15 year old and I do not konw what she is doing exactly but I remember what it was like to be 15 I know it is very diffrent to be a teenager today.But I had her when I was 15 so I definitley know about teen sex and stuff.I know she has tried pot a few times but I do not think she is an addict or anything.But should I do something or what.I need help.I do not know what to do.

You need to talk to your child about drugs and sex. They won't want to listen, but the things you say do infulance your child. Also don't feel like a failure if something happens. Children will make their own mistakes and they can't learn from your or anyone elses. Definatly talk to your daughter, tell her how hard it was being a teen mother, tell her about the future, what it can be and what it might be.

well im 16 and a guy and I've always wondered about my parents and this kinda stuff. I think if you just sat them down and set boundaries they would know your aware of what goes on and they may have second thoughts.

Yeah, you definately need to talk to her. She may be like ' Yeah, yeah whatever.' and you may think she isn't listening, but trust me, she is. If you drill positive messages into her head at a young age, that sticks with you for life. Trust me, I am a 15 year old girl and whenever my mom brings up those touchy subjects, I'm like ' whatever mom', but I really am grasping all that. Plus, my mother always taught me respect and all that good stuff since I was little, and all that stayed with me and boy am I glad. Hopefully, your daughter will be a pausitive influence on her children someday. Hope I helped!

My parents gave me very few boundries (im 17 btw), it worked but only by being honest with them and them being fine with me. I know that sounds really stupid but what I mean is they never said 'dont do drugs!', so I made my own choice and I chose not to do them, if you say to her that you dont like her doing this stuff it will almost certainally make it seem taboo and alluring.

Brighteyez is right that whatever you say to her, even if she just throws it back in your face in a strop, we do take notice. My girlfriend is in a constant argument with her mum and even if she seems to have totally disagreed with something in the heat of the moment she does take it to heart.

Ultimatly if they are going to be really bad with drugs theres not much you can do because the friend group they have chosen to be with are one that does weed. And I would say from my experiences that there is a world of difference between canabis and other drugs, here in the uk smoking is getting so blasted that it seems like cannabis is almost as accepted. Its a teenage thing, she'll grow out of it.

Basically dont go overboard, sounds like an aqward parent to child chat is in order...

Lol soz if im being a hippocrite im in a funny mood.

I'm sixteen, and I think that the best thing to do, is sit her down and watch something about teenagers [such as Dr.Phil, or maybe even something like America's next top model], and ask her questions about how she feels watching certain people doing certain things.. like if someone is a smoker, just bring up the subject, or if someone does drugs or drinks.. ask her what she would've done in that situation.. just in case you were having trouble bringing it up without feeling awkward
