thanks stresser, have a 2 yr old at home and am going back to school myself, so i won't be able to work at the school, but her friends are here a lot. i just took all the girls shopping for homecoming dresses. most of her friends like me and trust me, feel comfortable with me. the only one who doesn't, it's because her mom has emotionally abused her and she just doesn't trust adults. she's so much like i was at her age!
anyway, i have told my daughter if she's drinking, or if friends are, call, no questions asked, and i'll pick her up, anytime, anyplace. she knows i'm good for it. she's only 15, has never had a drink, but she knows that i am not an idiot, i know that at some point between now and when she's who knows how old, she'll try it. i've told her, i'd prefer it's at home, but if not, i'm here, her dad's here, call us. she knows we want her safe, first and foremost.
