Can’t afford a therapist, I’m poor, barely have any groceries in the fridge even

It did me – I left a while a go nearly 12 years ago now- I’m 27. I was in boarding school from the age of 8 to 16- 2 different school. First school we weren’t allowed home weekends, second one we where if we wanted.

Anyway, after I left, I couldn’t cope with the actual freedom of being free nor with the freedom of choice – just being able to do what I wanted, when I wanted, like go for a pi$$, without having to ask permission all the f****** time. For months after I left, I found myself asking my own mother if I could go for a wee. In our own house.

I think it was also being so young and away from home so much that screwed me up. And the strict regimes. Everything, really.

I went into a depression and turned to drink and drugs for a while, and have done some stupid things out of anger, I guess, for the way you are treated in boarding schools. I stopped the drugs a few years ago, but still drink, and am being treated for alcoholism right now.

A few people from my year I kept in contact with when we left went the same way. Some of them have died from ODs, 2 killed themselves and one other who was my best friend in school – she still is my best friend now- was severely anorexic for a few years.

Anyone who has been at boarding school in the UK had the same thing/heard of it happening?
I did post this in another category- Education primary and secondary.

He has been waiting and working to get into the high school he is in. They only accept so many students each year and you have to earn the right to go there. My son is a good student and has never gotten into any trouble before. Saying this as his mother i am sure people will say that i am just in denial, but he really is a good kid and has a good head on his shoulders. Last week i received a call from the school that he was found drinking in shop class. Now he might be getting kicked out of the school he worked so hard to get into. He said it was the first time he has never done this before. i believe him, but i am concerned about it. alcoholism runs in my family and when i was his age i was already an alcoholic. Does anyone know if there is anything i can do to make sure he doesn’t go down that road. We always talk and he knows i am there for him whenever he needs me, but i know he is at the age when his friends have more influence on him than i do sometimes. i just want a better life for him then i had and i am hoping someone might have some ideas to help prevent this.

The child of elementary school age is being teased and harassed by other children following the execution by stoning of her mother who was found guilty of committing adultery following an evening of drinking at a local tavern.

Please note this is a hypothetical question. If possible please answer specifically the question asked. If interested in the 10 points for best answer your chances are better that way

There are three girls in this family, an alcoholic mother, and a father who is out of the picture. The three girls got taken out of the possesion of their mother so she could go through rehab in December. Two girls moved into a neighboring town with a relative, the other one with an intown relative. The girls remained in their school system for the remainder of the year, but are now told they have to go to their intown school. This leaves the family separated. Is there anyway to keep the girls in the school system they have always been in? I know out of district tuition is an option, but i dont see how it can be afforded by the family, the district is fairly wealthy, it’d be a fortune. The schools are in new jersey if it helps. Could the two girls stay with their intown relatives with the other sister for even a day a week and be considered residence of their original town, even though not in possesion of their mother? The intown family cant take all three in permanently

I saw it on David Rocco’s show. By the way, he is such a hottie.
It suppossedly gave energy, and when it’s alcohol, it’s not what you americans drink and become dumb*****. And i don’t need your smart *** answers. By the way, Ryan – thanks. I also think it’s called Marsala.

Im looking for a school where my mother can send my younger brother who has a history (and was just arrested for) with drug/alcohol abuse, violence, gang related issues, and destruction of public property in the state of New Mexico within 150 miles of Albuquerque. Currently my younger brother is 14, and in 8th grade. He also has been admitted to a sort of child mental institution where he was said to have an issue with not being able to discern fantasy as opposed to reality.

Money is sort of tight, so my mother is trying to keep it as cheap as possible.

Help?

I would love to hear from high school students, because my daughter is a freshman and thinks I am completely unreasonable and unfair. I would like to hear different opinions, but please, no rude answers. Honest answers are good, but not smart remarks.

My daughter is 14 and in 9th grade. She has always achieved proficient or advanced scores on the state tests, and she is very smart. She and I were inseparable until she began 8th grade, always spending time and having fun together. I tried to always teach her good manners, and I thought I had been a good role model. I guess not.

She started using drugs at school when she was 12. I knew in my heart she was, but Kaiser sucks and don’t use decent drug tests, so I didn’t have proof until the end of her 8th grade year, when she was suspended for possession. We had planned on her going to the school of the arts in our area, but those plans were ruined for the time being. She had also decided she no longer wanted to take the drum, vocal and bass lessons she had wanted so badly. She was using all different types of drugs, not just smoking weed.

She went to rehab, stayed clean a little while, started 9th grade and messed up by the end of September. She was hospitalized again for drugs and something traumatic that happened when she was supposed to be spending the night at a home about 100 yards from ours.

Following that hospital stay, she began independent study, which got her a few credits, but it wasn’t givingg her time to socialize or participate in any activities. Despite her prior behavior, and against the advice of everyone in our group therapy, I still gave her some privileges. I took her and a friend to the movies about two miles away, and I was going to pick them up. They left the theater, and she ended up running away. She was only found 8 days later because of a tip from someone who saw an article about her in the newspaper. It tooks deputies almost 4 hours to get her out of the house where she had been staying.

Again, she went to a hospital, where they told me for the second time that with the amount of drugs in her system, it was amazing she was still alive. It was recommended I go through the school district to have her sent to a facility in Utah for a minimum of 6 months, but I didn’t want to do that. I was afraid she would hate me forever.

Instead, I was lucky to get her into an inpatient program about 150 miles away. It wasn’t a hospital. It was a house with a maximum of 6 teens in a beautiful area. They had outings to the movies and the beach and played sports and had really fun days that included intensive therapy. I went up there for family sessions and visiting, and we even had a nice Christmas there with all of the families. She was there about 6 weeks. She seemed to make so much progress there, and it seemed like it really made a difference (until about an hour after she left).

She didn’t want to go back to school. She kept talking (and continues talking) about how she really just wants to get high. We had a contract they had written up with all the rules regarding how to let her earn her privileges back and about all kinds of stuff.

After about two weeks, I enrolled her in the high school in the district where I teach. She had a lot of friends there already from elementary school, and many of them even came to my job to see her when they found out she was going to start attending.

She started school with a totally negative attitude. As a favor, the drama teacher added her to his zero period class, where she suddenly has no interest in singing, dancing, acting, or participating in anything.

She is getting an F in four subjects, and D’s or D-’s in the other three. She is actually receiving an F in P.E. from just refusing to dress or participate. She is failing drama, even though we have attended after school activities to earn some of her points back. The drama teacher has been really cool about things. She is a computer whiz, and she is failing her computer technology class because she skips the quizzes. And she is failing English.

Two weeks into school, she asked me to let her prove she was trustworthy. She asked to go to a friend’s house who lives one block from my school. I said yes, had the phone number and address, and told her she could go for an hour and a half, until I was done with my work. I went to pick her up, and they had never even gone home to her friend’s house. SHE screamed and yelled and said I never trust her.

She tells me everyday that I am so unfair, because EVERYONE gets to go out wherever they want and do whatever, but I only let her hang out with friends at our house or nearby. Personally, I think she is lucky I bought her a new phone, I let her friends come over, and I still take her to do fun stuff.

All I ask is that she get C’s, or even C-’s in her classes. Even if she got a D in one cla

My mom just came in and told me that she heard from a trusted source (but she wouldn’t say who) that one of my best friends brought alcohol to school. If it is true, then that is really surprising. I could ask her about it tomorrow because we walk to school together, but I don’t want to wait that long. Is this too serious to ask over AIM?
we go to this weird smart school where pretty much everyone gets a 4.0 gpa and never does anything bad.

I was recently granted full custody of my neice (my sister-her mom was sent to jail)

My neice is VERY into drugs, alcohol, partying and skipping school. She’ll come home from school high. I’ve found drugs/alcohol in her room. I’ve tried everything (grounding her, staying home with her) nothing works.

I’m deciding between sending her to rehab or boarding school. Which do you think would be the bigger help?

It will be a landslide if she does. Palin 2012!

what is goin on i need to talk to someone

over a year ago i adopted now a 5 year old boy. His mother is a addicted to crack and when she was pregnant she smoked crack too. Since he was younger he was in foster care. While in foster care he attended special education preschool. Now that i have him he is attending regular kindergarten since there is no special education kindergarten offered.
He’s been going to kindergarten(school) for past 3 months, but he is not getting any work done and does not focus on his work. His teacher told me that my son is not focusing and is always last one in class to finish his work, if he even finishes.At home he dose the same thing whether he is putting his close on or eating or doing his homework, always he takes way to long and cant sit still. I have been talking and trying anything just to get him to do what he is supposed to do but IT’S NOT WORKING.
MOST LIKELY HE IS ADHD. I need some concrete advice on what and how much can i expect form him regarding his school work/home chores and regular routines and how much can he accomplish. In other words what would be reasonable to ask him to do.
I am desperate and in need of some wisdom from you out there how do i get him to focus and do what he is supposed to. PLEASE HELP!!!

Congratulations!!! Now what? Well
here are some things to expect from baby in the first month of
life. Some of these things may or may not happen with your
baby. All babies are different, so don’t be concerned if they
do not happen to your baby, in fact your life may be easier if
you don’t have to go through them.

Jaundice- The yellowing of baby due to an increased amount of
bili reuben in the blood. Usually this will disappear within
about two weeks or 14 days. In some cases especially in
premature babies, babies need to be treated and stay under a
special bili rueben light until bili Reuben levels return to
normal. Jaundice is more common in boys and in babies that are
premature, jaundice is nothing to be to concerned about, your Dr
will let you know if baby needs treatment or not.

Infant Acne- You might find it odd as I did, that your newborn
little angel has what looks like little zits all over his/her
little face. This is most common in breastfeed babies because
the baby is getting extra hormones through there mother’s milk.
Not to worry this will go away just as quickly as it started it
might take a few weeks, but it won’t leave scars or marks. In a
few weeks you will have that beautiful soft as a baby’s butt
skin you always imagined.

Taking care of the umbilical cord- Don’t give baby a full bath
until the umbilical cord falls off. Sponge baths will do just
fine. Keep the umbilical cord dry and exposed to a lot of air.
Clean the umbilical cord with alcohol.

First Job Resume High School

Turn the diaper down and the shirt up. Also try and protect the
skin around the umbilical cord. Alcohol can irritate the skin
and make it red. Try putting lotion or baby powder around the
belly button, and try using a cotton swab to dab on the alcohol.

The umbilical cord stub will fall off in a week or two, and
then you can give baby his/her first bath.

Circumcision- To take care of a baby after circumcision is
usually not a pleasant experience for you or your baby. To make
baby more comfortable use double diapers to help cushion baby
from rubbing against the circumcision. Now a days Dr’s use a
circumcision ring and that will fall off when the area has
healed.

Bowel Movements- Your newborn baby should have 5 or more dirty
diapers a day. This seems like quite a lot but its normal. In
newborn babies watery loose stools are also normal.

Spitting Up- It may seem like more is coming back up then going
down, but this is not the case. Chances are a teaspoon or two
is all that is coming up although it looks like a lot more. If
baby is drinking formula the formula may not agree with him/her,
so discuss your concerns with your Doctor.
