I’ve gone to all the parenting sites and did and said exactly what I read. She’s not drinking but showing signs that she’s curious and doesn’t see it as a big deal. I told her there is a greater risk of alcoholism if you start drinking at a young age, it’s a gateway to drugs and gave religious reason all the while staying calm and understanding. She still has these comebacks! She says adults drink recreational and there fine….why not teens.
Thank you for you help. To answer your questions: she’s 14 and just started high school. I didn’t play the religious card-just a few times. I have said and explained all that you all suggested to her but I just think she thinks it will “never happen to her”. I think I will contact Dare to see if they have anyone that could talk to her about their experiences and visit a morgue as suggested. I might contact a local AA program. She has a girlfriend that basically gets to do whatever and I also found out she drinks. I think maybe my daughter is getting peer-pressured? I always know where she’s at and my house is always the place the kids come too so that’s good. She’s a good girl and I’m on top of her but I think she envies this girls freedom and party life.
