Teen Caught Smoking - 2008/01/06 00:35
My 14 year old daughter was caught smoking cigarettes. I know this probably sounds minor to some but to us it's a big deal. This is a adolescent who doesn't care what punishment you give her, it doesn't seem to bother her.
She is the 3rd in line of 4 siblings. She's the only who has caused us problems over the years.
If she's by herself, she's a very good kid but she's a follower so when she gets around others, she seems to do what their doing and is always finding the "wrong" friends.
Last year, she tore a dispenser off the bathroom wall to prove she was "tough" and was suspended from school for 3 days.
This year already, she was suspended for 5 days for lying on a written statement on a situation that she witnessed.
So situations are just getting worse as time goes on and I'm wanting to stop it.
My question to you is what has worked for a punishment when you catch your teen smoking. Now I've thought about making her smoke an entire pack of cigarettes til she gets sick.....or....chew an entire can of chewing tobacco...but I'm still undecided. I fear that her body will crave the nicotine if I do follow thru with what I mentioned which will defeat the purpose of her opposing cigarettes. Any suggestions that have worked will be greatly appreciated.
