My stepdaughter turns 16 in a couple of months. She lives with us 24/7 now - no contact from her mom for over a year :-( Due to situations beyond her control, general shyness and her life situation, she doesn't have a strong circle of friends her age. She's got cousins around her age, but they're family and, even then, they're not really close - hang out at family gatherings, but not outside of them.
I want to do something special for her 16th birthday, anyway. I'm thinking something like skydiving, a spa weekend, rock n roll fantasy camp, a date with Jack White or Johnny Depp ;-)...
We can't really afford anything more than a couple hundred dollars. We're in the Chicago suburbs.
If this were you, if you were about to turn 16 & in a similar situation in your life, what would you want to do to mark the special day?
