My 14-year-old daughter, who is a cheerleader at a strict Christian school, is involved in Student Council, choir, and receives high grades. Recently, after reading 90,000 texts, I found out she is involved in sexting inappropriate pictures to the football players, sneaking out at night with an ex-boyfriend to have sex (he is into drinking and drugs), and has basically gotten out of control. She has lied about the rumors and blamed others for the accusations.
After reading the texts, I have come to the bottom of the lies and definitely can see she is out of control. Her only answer is, "I don't know why." She attends a strict Baptist school where she had no prior discipline issues until her father and I started having problems over the past year, resulting in our separation. Prior to her risky behavior, I explained, sex, STDs, reputation, etc. with her, but she seems interested only in the thrill.
After discovering everything in the beginning of this month, we have decided to change schools, but I am afraid that she will only continue this risky behavior. Her old boyfriend is trying to contact her, and she wants to be involved with him.
I have sought professional help, but it is a slow process. My husband is very stern and inflexible, and I fear keeping her away from the former boyfriend will only make him more appealing. I want to give her a fresh start at her new school despite the chance of rumors following her.
Any advice?
