@eco I think you should support your child being at your home with her boyfriend if the relationship is healthy. She will be in a safe place and you will show you trust her to be responsible for her actions. And you took measures to avoid pregnancy, etc so that’s ok. And I think you should not...

@getlostinthewild I’d suggest you take a step back and evaluate if all stress you’re going through as a family is worthwhile for a HS diploma. A piece of paper that doesn’t guarantee anything to anyone. All of these punishments are just showing him that he’s not the person that you want him to...
