Just because you found 2 use condoms doesn't mean she is prostituting .... she may be in a relationship and perhaps you should talk to her about that. As for drugs there are other signs to look for such as personality changes , changes in grades , becoming more isolated ( these things could also signal depression) ..... talk to her about your concerns , or just ask her if she knows anything about the missing money or items. You may also try contacting a local mental health facility and speak to a drug counc. about what to look for and what to do.

If she is up to doing these things as her mom you can attempt to speak with her. However she will probably lie, do you have and adult friend of yours she trusts and that person can speak with her. Help her open up and share with her the pro's and con's of her actions. If not go to Walgreen's get a drug test. Sit her down and talk if she seems like shes lying or resorts to yelling and screaming advise her that she needs to re-earn her trust with you and have her take the drug test. If she won't then you know there is a problem, and look into counseling for her. Call your insurance company they will help you find a good therapist.

ground her make sure she stays in her room for 2 months. schools out there right? if not drop her off and pick her up from school. keep money away from her so she can't buy condoms, or drugs. and take any drugs you find out of the house and bring them to the police station if you find them, but then you, and/or your daughter could go into jail and then depending on her sentence she should have learned her lesson.

Have you tried asking her? She must know you suspect something and actually wants you to ask. And used condoms don't necessarily mean she's into prostitution. They just mean that she's sexually active and is at least smart enough to try to prevent pregnancy and disease. It sounds like you're afraid of her. You're the mom, find out what's going on.

Ooh, a tough question....do you have any idea why she MIGHT be doing any of this? And if so, maybe changing the situation causing her to do it could be a solution. You could also talk to her about drugs and prostitution without her knowing. You know, like the "I know you're at the age when...." talk.

Sit her down and try to have a serious adult conversation with her. I realize she is not an adult, but if you treat her like a kid or come at her like you are the opposition, she will get defensive and close you off. you have to get the truth out of her!!
good luck!

You need to confront her. Tell her that you will not allow her to ruin her good name and yours. Send her to boot camp or a tough camp like Outward Bound that will make her change her outlook. Check on her friends. They are probably bad influences on her.

Confront her or make random searches of her room when she is not there until you find proof. Condoms only mean she is having sex.

Confront her. Lock the doors and barricade the exits if necessary.
