My daughter, 13, is a good girl, very good student, and though at a difficult age, I've never had any serious problem with her. We have a good relationship. Yesterday night she came to me very upset. She had done something wrong, was feeling bad with herself and had to tell me. She told me she didn't resist peer pressure and drank some beer. I got upset, though very happy about her honesty. She apologized, said she acted without thinking, assured me that wouldn't happen again. I felt sorry for her, forgave, hugged and kissed with love, but said she had done something wrong and drinking is a dangerous stuff. I was somewhat upset and at the moment couldn't decide if I should punish her anyway, so I said 'd think about it and this afternoon I'd tell her my decision. Since she was nervous, I told her she wasn't before a court, but before her mom, and any punishment would be for her best and out of love. I don't feel like punishing, but maybe she needs a a lesson to make her think.
