I found a hollowed out book? What could this mean?
Hello, i'm here to look for some advice. This morning I was getting the clothes off of my daughter's bed and under the pillow I found a hollowed out book. I'm confused, and have no idea why in the world she would want a hollowed out book. There was nothing in it, but she could have taken something out. I smelled inside for suspision of drugs but it just smelled like a book. She is 13 and has always been a good girl but I don't understand this. Please answer!

Psh, I had like twenty hollowed books! I kept treasures in them, and sometimes I would put random things (like lighters, lolzzzz) but it doesn't mean drugs.
Calm down, and thin of other possibilities.
Just watch her more carfully, and don't let her know you "invaded her privacy" or she'll hate you.

could be drugs, but i doubt it. when i was a kid i hollowed out a couple books because i saw it in a movie and thought it was cool. (same reason my brother cut off all the fingers to his gloves.)
my little sister did the same thing nearly 10 years later, also for no good reason.
id say if your worried about drugs tho don't ask her about it, she may be a good kid but if it is drugs i doubt she would tell you. if you want to find out just put it back where you found it and check it every now and again to see what she puts in there. sure its a little snoopy, but shes your kid and its your right as a parent.

she probably keeps candy in it!
the only way youll know is to ask her.

It's hard to tell without knowing anything about your daughter.
Probably it's nothing. Maybe she keeps a journal in there, or her money or something. Drugs are absolute worst case scenario. Again, it's hard to tell.
Chances are, it's something innocent, since she's only 13. That being said, at the age of 13, I was smoking, drinking, stealing, and doing drugs, all while my parents thought I was a "good girl" and a loner. The best thing to do is just to pay attention. That's it. Subtly smell her- does she smell like smoke or pot? Ask questions (try not to be nagging about it though)- where is she going? Who is she hanging out with? Does she act different when she comes home? Who are her friends? These are all things you should pay attention to.
There's no straight answer for this question. I wish I could give you a better answer, but the truth is, I don't know. You have a choice: you can let it go (the teenager part of me is itching to tell you to leave her alone) or you can ask her about it. Keep in mind that she probably will not admit to anything, but if she's lying, she will probably get upset, angry, and defensive ("Why are you going through my stuff? Don't you trust me?") After all, if she was innocent, she'd have nothing to hide.
Hope I helped. Good luck!
