My 15 yr old daughter has mixed with the wrong crowd, drugs, experimental drinking, but keeps running away from home, has a very low attendance st school, on a reduced timetable. Turns off her location, police have bought her home. Doesn't see how it's affect all her family, she struggles with anxiety, won't go to counselling? Just struggling dealing with this.

Sounds like how my daughter was, all I did was be there for her no matter what she knew she could call me and I'd be there. She left school in year 9 on the provision she had a full time job. She did so much better out of the school environment, still partied too hard and wasn't easy but she did show up for work always, she is now 21 and is the most amazing mature human and makes me so proud. She works harder than anyone that she went to school with and is travelling. From 14-17 it was hell but she got it out of her system and is so amazing. Hopefully it is the same for your daughter and yourself. I'm my daughters best friend now and I think she feels that because she always knew I was there for her no matter what.
