Same question here? How old is she? Makes a big difference in my response.

She is 15yrs. old and so full of potential. I can see it in her grades when she tries she does so well and when she's in a lousy mood it affects everyone in the house.

Well pepsi.....I think that was around the age when I pulled that stuff.

I've really not thought about why I did it. I suppose there were a number of reasons.
1. I didn't like school because I never thought I was smart.
2. I always stayed up late, weather it was because I was watching TV or I just couldn't sleep.
3. I was being lazy and irresponsible.
4. I was depressed.
5. I didn't' like myself.

Having made that list, I don't really know if all of those is true about me and of course have no idea if any are her problem. Just some thoughts on why I might have acted that way.

I would suggest, number one, take her to the doctor for her migraines. There is lots of meds that work well to keep them subsided. Number two, talk to her.....and I mean really talk. Just about stuff, ask her how she is and what she like and what she doesn't like. I think it's important to keep the lines of communications flowing. May be she'll confide in you in how she's feeling if the migraines aren't really the problem.

Teenagers are hard -- I know, I was one once.
