My teenage daughter Elizabeth had been a good kid in elementry school and middle school, but now that she's in high school she's out of control. Her grades have gone from A's and B's to straight C's. I've talked to her about her classes, but she's unresponsive. Her teachers say she has potential, but just refuses to try.
Her new friends are also worrisome. She's got a new boyfriend who's a junior (she's a freshman) and I'm worried about that relationship. Her new friends also smoke, drink and party every night.
How can I get my daughter back? I've talked to her about consuling, but she refuses to go. I'm a single mom, and I want Elizabeth to have a good future. I want her to go to college, but at the rate she's going, she'll never get a scholarship. What should I do?
