Hi,
This is my first time posting...I have a 13 1/2 year old daughter who is in grade 9, she skipped a grade, so all of her friends are 15. The big thing for the girls and boys to do on weekends is drinking. My daughter got caught drinking about 5 months ago, after she sat in front of me and told me that she wouldn't drink. So now, the trust has been broken and everything she is telling me I don't believe. My thing is I'm having a really hard time with her sneaking about trying to drink and the lying...I want to be able to trust her but she isn't showing me that I can. I'm also wondering if it is the peer pressure and she just wants to fit in. I'm willing to listen to any suggestions that anyone has.
