Afternoon all,
Any help/points of view with this one .....
picked my dd up from school the other day only to see a group of her friends smoking who were a little way ahead of her. Daughter and these friends are year 9 so 13/14. I was shocked I have to admit. My daughter wasn't smoking - she knows i'd go mad and what the repercussions would be if I caught her and she is also collected/picked up by me at school times. When I said to my dd about it she said these girls say to their mums they are doing clubs after school when in fact they are hanging about in parks and chasing older teenage boys!
Question I have is do I ring the parent of one of these girls (I only know one from earlier days at primary). Do I tell this parent about her daughter? I know if it was me I would want to know. BUT .... you know the general rule of thumb is not to interfere. Still think though that 13 is a young age to be smoking. Haven't contacted the school but have a feeling they will say its off of school property so not their problem.
Can't help but feel a slight responsiblity for these girls welfare.
Any ideas/views??
