I'll try to make this brief. A close friend has been having problems with her 17 year old DD. She has got in with a bad crowd recently, dropped out of college, taking ecstasy and smoking weed. Friend is obviously very worried and upset.
They were at our place for lunch last weekend. Her DD was upstairs with my two DDs who are 13. They know a bit about what has been going on, but not everything. Anyway, I'm cooking and get a text from Dt1 saying we are going to come downstairs and ask to go into town, please can you say no. So I replied "why". DT1 text back saying that friends DD was meeting her dodgy crowd to get more drugs and wanted them to go with her.
I'm so disappointed that this girl has tried to get my 13 year olds involved in all of this. She's almost an adult, they are much younger.
I've thought about it this week and I don't want to tell my friend as she's extremely stressed out, younger son also bunking school and dabbling in drugs and she is so lovely. I'm thinking of having a word with the daughter, or would you just leave it?
My other DD is very easily led, she doesn't know that her sister texted me, she wanted to go! Which worries they crap out of me.
