Thanks Soror,
That's what I am really scared of, I think back and I am like well if I was 13 then I would just be playing with my firends all day, but when I look around and see 13 year olds with babies, I'm like these are obviously a new breed of 13 year olds.
But anyhow, relunctenly I had to lay down my foot yeaterday and although I might have lost the friendship that I had with my sister, like my mothr always said, I would rather have a child that is mad at me than a child that is dead.
Yesterday, I just went off on all of her little friends. Ianswered the phone and said hello and the girl was just like "Jovetta there?" that's it no hello, no nothing, so I saidf hello again and she said "I said is Jovetta there?". I could not beleive how rude she was, so after I told her that when she calls my house she has to say hello or something she did apologize.
Then at about 6:00, my sister came in and asked me if she could go swimming, and when I opened the door, I smelled the sweet smell of a cigar and low and behold one of the kids were smoking. So I promptly pulled her in the house and told her that from now own when I go to work she will be going to my aunt's house (I have a 14 year old cousin ther for her to be with). I also told her that I want her to be in the house at least ever hour to tell me wher she is and she is to be in the house no later thatn 9:00 and to tell her friends to #1 have respect when they call her and #2 do not call after the time I have given her for them to call or she will loose all phone priviledges.
I know that she was not the one smoking and I know thta she wouldn't because she is always telling my mother not too, but that was my breaking point, really.
I don't want to have to send her back home for the summer, but it really is just the people we live around becaus eI have never had any problems out of my sister and really the only problem I do have is thta i don't like her friends, and on one hand I don't want to say that she is so influential that they will change her, but then again, ussually the good turn bad rather than the bad turning good.
I'm just going to pray on the situation though...sorry this was so long
