 Quote From: teen_in_tn I know sometimes teenagers are doing stuff like drinking and all because they're parents are never around to watch them like they should. But i do also know some teens have parents who do the best they can to try to watch them. Now I will say that being a teen myself you probably dont wanna hear what i have to say. But I feel like I wanna say it. When I was in the eighth grade, i knew a friend who tried to hurt theirself. They would jump out of trees and then finally they knew what worked or they thought. My friend started cutting herself with razor blades. She did this for awhile. My friends saw this and one said "why are you this to urself ur such an idiot!" That didn't make her feel any better. It made her worse. But what did help her was another friend. She said "I dont want you to die. You're like my sister and it hurts me to see you like this. Please dont do this anymore. If you are having problems talk to me or ur mom. This is not the answer." Then finally she quit with help. But I want lie, she still has to fight to keep herself thinking positive so she will never go back. Sometimes it's good to have a friend who cares about you. Whats not good is when a friend isn't really a friend.When I first started high school at the age of 15, i was introduced to all kinds of things. At my school, which i prefer not to say its name, I saw drugs being exchanged, alcohol being drunk right their in front of the teachers nose, people sneaking to the bathrooms to smoke and do "other things". I'm not trying to dis my school but, somethings not right here. But I will admit I was offered something to drink. I saw the bottle of what appeared to be dr. pepper. Little did I know it had Brandy in with it. I trusted that girl when she said "It's just dr. pepper. Take a sip." Afterall she was my friend.So i did and i tasted that alcohol in it. But i guess it was my fault for trusting my friend. See that wasn't my moms fault. She couldn't predict that I would be introduced to such things at my school. Please feel free to leave any comments you want to. I am a parent of now 17 years girl, I was around all the time and I knew where she was at all time, everything that went on with her, I was married for the second time and her father did not have any thing to do with her,but my husband now give her anything she wanted and was very good to her,then one day out of the blues Nicole turn on the wrong foot, she starting to drink,smoke sleeping around, not going to school and that hurt me so much,I tried to talk to her but no way she did not want to listen.I try to get Nicole to go to the doctors.Still nothing, then one day we got into it and then before I knew what was happen we was fighting ,and anything came apart.Now she doen't live with me and I pray every night that she will turn her live around,I love her very much,she is a very smart (a) and pretty girl, but her ways will kill you. So please do not aways blame the parent.Until this day I believe it is because Nicole wanted a real father,but Chris did try and he loves her very much and also wishes things would be differ for all of us,so where do you go from here?
