Hi, I am 21 years old...the problem is with my sister "Courtney" she is 15 years old and is getting in alot of trouble right here lately. She's been getting in fight's at school, stole my mom's car to go joy-ridin', tried to hookup with a 26 year old ex-convict, and just the other day she got caught at school passing a note to a boy with a condom inside, asking him when there were going to have sex? I don't know what else to do... I have tried talking to her it doesn't seem to work. Any idea's why she is doing this? This behavior just started this year. And I can't keep a eye on her becuase I am married and noi longer live at "home".
There's probably not that much that you personally can do, unfortunately. It's very good that you're trying to talk to her, though -- if she knows you are paying attention and that you care about her, she may turn to you when she's ready. But in the meantime, I think you should encourage your mom to take her in for family counseling. Whatever's going on with Courtney, it's too important -- and definitely too potentially dangerous -- to take lightly. Good luck. [ alpha's advice column | Ask alpha A Question ]
