I brodened my nieces poetry. to where she is a really awesome poet.Well when she was in school she was getting into a little trouble. In the mean time a couple poems that I helped her with had gotten published in a couple diffrent books. Then I helped her write a story. We sent it to a publisher. They told her that her story was to young of a story for their readers. So I told her what story to write that they would publish. She is a really awesome writer. But she never followed through. The publisher told her if the story was for an older group a readers they would definately publish it.well in the mean time she was still getting in trouble at school. But it wasn't because she wasn't smart. She was bored school is to easy for her. So I wrote a letter to her school to explain the situation and I sent one of her poems that was published in a book.The other day we got a letter telling us that the school wan'ts her to go to Austrailia as an ambasador for her school. should I help her go.

I'm a teacher and i see 2 things.... one you are either a good mentor and were a great help.. in that case she should definately go as it might give her some insight and courage to stay out of trouble if she sees there is a big world out there. The other thing is how much did she really write or you? and why do you say should you help her go? do you mean financially? If you can help do it .you already started by writing the school the letter in the first place

I think you've already made your decision by the way you wrote the question. You don't need to have anybody else validate what you already think. If you want to help her go, then help her go. It would be a wonderful learning experience and if the issues in school were that big, the school wouldn't have suggested it. It's a big opportunity for her and she would be very disappointed to miss it I would imagine. It may just be the incentive she needs to improve in school. Perhaps, you could go with her, it would be a great bonding experience as well. I am looking to take my daughter to Europe for her 14th birthday.

Your niece has to want to do good. You helping her find her dream is not helping her find her dream. If she is bored and staying in trouble, then she need help in more areas than just poetry writing. Read her poetry from the heart. See where she is hurting. Deal with it. Maybe she will be able to move on with very little help from you. The desire has to come from within her.

You obviously want to help your niece, which is commendable. However, unless she straightens up her act, she shouldn't be rewarded for this. Why is she bored? Will placing her in a more challenging class help her? sit down and talk with her and find out what is going on with her/ You can't do this for her. She needs to do it for herself. Keep encouraging her. Good luck, dear. The teenagers years are the most difficult, but that's when they need us the most.

Well you broadend her poetry, why not broaden her horizons? She'll be doing something positive, it'll squash the trouble making phase and I see nothing wrong with it.

I dont think I would want that. You need her around you, you dont want her going somewhere else getting into trouble and you wont be around to help.
