I was so shocked last night. I have noticed a change in my daughter since junior high. Last night I found out that she was smoking and that her, friend and my youngest were involved in stealing smokes from a friend of mind when we were in other room. I never would of thought that first they smoked and never the less stole some. My oldest(12), she told me that she was forced to the first time and then at school she wanted to impress a guy. The youngest (10) was to be cool. I just discovered the young one this morning when before leaving for work confronted the friend and she ratted on the youngest.
I had a mature talk with the oldest, she seems to understand! The youngest I have to deal with her tonight.
Now I rased them by myself and always re-enforce the positive. I'm now lost on what to do or how to help and if getting caught was enough to stop it. The friend was caught younger and she has a police file about it. She promised not too and she's watch as well.
They were very surprised that I have noticed it.
What do do? Advice would be very appreciated!
