my neice is 15. she is out drinking, having s*x and doin drugs. i know this for a fact because i have caught her doing the drugs and drinking. she tells her mom that it is not true and her mom believes her. i have tried talking to my sister, trying to let her know that the stuff is true and that she should stop her before she gets into trouble... but in her eyes her lil angel is doing nothing wrong. i know i am just her aunt but i dont want to see her get into trouble or end up pregnant and having to be a teenage mother. i personally do not think that she is responsible enough to handle it. please help me to figure out what to do :)

Well you pretty much did all you could. You talked to her mother and unfortunately, a lot of mothers think their kids can do no wrong.
The only thing left is for you to try to reach out to your niece. If that doesn't work then there is nothing you can do. Just be there for her when the sh*t hits the fan...as you can see, it obviously will.

well, the mother is ignorant... why would she think you would lie on your niece like that.... she seems like she don't care what her child does and up holds her for her wrong doing... this may sound like tough love and even sad but maybe you should pull back and let her mother handle her.... if she ends up pregnant or in trouble then her mother will come around.... i don't understand why people have to wait until something happens to correct their problems.... i respect you for being concern and i wish i had a sister to help me out the same way with my kids.... i hope the best for your niece and keep her in your heart and prayers....

you did everything you could do, it is out of your hands now, her parents probably know something is up they just do not want to believe it. its up to the parents now, and by the judging of that, it Will be to late before they decided to step in. sorry that is how it goes now a days, either they don't care , don't have time, or think they can do nothing about it , which i think is a crock of s***! but I am glad that you did tell the parents, you had their daughters best intentions there, and that s all you can do .

as an aunt, you told her mother and that is all you can do.
if you have that kind of time, then babysit her. this is embarrassing for the teen but sometimes that is what teens need. she obviously has to much time on her hands. sounds like you do too. why not be a mentor to her? set a time to spend with her and use that time to surround her with the positive stuff out there for teen girls, like sports or hobbies or Carree stuff.some ppl say pray, but i personally do not do that, but i heard it works.

That sounds pretty serious...next time you see her doing this run to tell your sister...she'll only believe you if she sees it herself...or why don't you have a talk with your niece, talk to her and make her see that it is wrong what she is doing...find someone who's been through this and have her talk to her. Maybe if she sees the consequences to her behavior she'll stop...

Amen to postal....shes right....you cant do no more than what you have done short of informing the child health authorities...and then youre gonna have one angry sister on your case......just keep being there for your niece no matter how hard it may get.

Maybe its time she learn that she is not above the law! and that what she does is wrong. You know where she is Partyin' a anonymous call can be a bust, where everyone learns. and Her mother will learn that she is not the angle that she thought she was

I know it probably bothers you to see her go through this but you have done what you can and now you have to hope her parents will save her. My advice is to stay close to her without being a nag and make sure she stays safe!

I know you want to protect her from herself,,,but your sister is in denial. There is nothing you can do to convince your sis. Just stay out of it.

Find proof that your sister can not deny. If you know it is going on it should not be to hard to find the evidence
