[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 429261, member: 1233"] I read this earlier and have been thinking about my response for a while. I truly think you need to really search her room, her facebook page (if she won't let you see it then she shouldn't have it), and you NEED to drug test her. Get the most complete test kit you can. If she has a cell phone, it may be worth it to pay for the gps service so you can see where it is at any time. At least for a month or two this owuld give you some idea if she is where you think she is. Do NOT tell her if you do this. Also check her phone usage. If she is on your plan, or you pay for her plan, then you should be able to see all the numbers she is calling. If there are drastic changes then see what you can find out about the people she is calling. If you pay for a month or so of one of the people searching sites then you can find all sorts of info about them. Including arrest records. This may or may not be worth it to you. It truly sounds like drugs to me. Have you spoken to her teachers? The friends that you know? Those friends' parents? You also need to have some idea what you will do if you find drugs, etc....? I would be at least willing to discuss rehab, call the cops if you find drugs/paraphernalia, and to limit her world as much as possible. Put alarms on her door/window at night so that if they open it wakes everyone up. Be esp wary if you find empty cans of the canned air used to clean computers. Kids use this as an inhalant to get high and it is deadly. Kids think it is just air so it is "safe" but it is heavier than air and will fill your lungs and you suffocate OR it is so cold it freezes your lungs and you die almost instantly. Having done it before, regardless of how many times, does NOT mean it won't kill you this time. Others here have more ideas. I am so sorry all this is happening. I would talk to her about birth control as many who are using drugs are also having unprotected sex. For this I would put a big box of condoms in a place she can find it with-o asking you and also take her to the doctor for an exam and choice of birth control. [/QUOTE]
