My teen is 15 and has become into the way of thinking she can do what she likes and whatever everyone else is doing it cool, which it isn't and I'm not happy about she was smoking marijuana and she was caught by me grounded for 4 months and as soon as I let her back out she did the same thing again only this time slept with a boy as I walked into her room and caught them as again I spoke to her about the dangers and grounded her for a further 2 months and as soon as she was back out she came in drunk and it's currently still grounded, what do you guys think I should do ??

So I don’t know if I have the answers but I didn’t want to not reply

I always thought I was doing the right thing trying to remember life as a teenage girl and having what she was up to me known to me rather than behind my back because I thought it made her more mature and more likely to understand trust and respect. (My DD is 17 in Oct) I’ve never had the drugs issue, but she has been open with me about drinking and sex. I had a conversation about protecting herself from emotional hurt and safeguarding herself from not good people if/when she is drinking, protecting herself from unwanted pregnancies and looking after her sexual health almost exactly a year ago today. My DH and I always said if she is ever in trouble just to phone us. – I thought I had got through to her, but I just posted a wee while ago looking for advice myself because she and I found out yesterday she is 33 weeks pregnant. So I have no idea what is the right thing to do anymore 

I do understand what you going through, I just wanted to let you know that.

My DD has been rather challenging and is the same age, I don't know she smokes marijuana but suspect she has , I know she's had sex with a long term boyfriend but she wont tell me (I overheard her telling a friend). Sorry you caught your DD you must have both been mortified , was it a boyfriend? What's she like at school?
