why is my daughter resorting to drugs?

  • Posted on July 30, 2010 at 3:20 am

my daughter is 14 years old. i am recently finding out things she is doing. first let me explain it all.

she was adopted by her father at age 3. her biological father was an alcoholic so i left him. she found out that her adopted father was not her biological father at age 10. i doubt this has anything to do with it but im not sure.

i am recently finding out that my daughter is doing drugs, smoking, having sex, and drinking. she is only 14 years old and has a whole life ahead of her. she may not have many friends. she has a great loving family. she recently got in touch with her biological father. we are not poor, and we live in a very nice part of town in a wealthy neighborhood. she is not involved in sports, or clubs. she gets all A’s and B’s, and is a great student.

last year, my daughter came home drunk and we had to call the paramedics. it was terrible. we punished her, and she gained back her trust. but now it is starting up. one day she was high and i had a talk with her. she told me every drug she has done.

she has done cocaine, marijuana, coricidin(tripple c’s), xanax, oxycontin, valium, vicodin, percocet, etc.

(sorry about grammar and misspelling im in a rush.)

I recently overheard her talking and caught her by a text message
that she has been having sex with a boy we do not allow her to see.
i am not telling her father about this.

she has also been caught buying pain killers at school.

recently, all in one week i have found weed in her room and a tinfoil pipe along with a lighter and a pack of ciggerettes. i also walked in the next day and she was stoned out of her mind and i found her weed. 2 days later i come home to the house smelling like pot, and she was stoned.

i don’t know what it is that is making her feel to resort to drugs. why do kids do drugs? she specifically told me that the last thing she wants is attention. she is going to be in high school next year and i dont want my daughter to be the girl with the reputation.

she also had 2 drug overdoses with tripple c’s (14), and oxycontin.
we did not take her to the hospital, however she had signs of OD.

someone tell me what might be going on in my daughters head?
she sits in her room all day on the phone and does not have that
many friends. she has never been arrested, however caught many
times without drugs in her posession.

i do not know why she resorts to drugs, HELP.
i am not sure if she is depressed?
