I'm back again (I'll try and leave it alone now!!) Hear, hear to Mae's idea and to La Texan (who managed to say what I've been thinking much, much more succinctly than I). This weekend just gone I read this great quote from a woman (who is a gifted musician) who by her own admission had a somewhat wayward teen period (not suggesting this is the case here, just by explanation) who has turned out to be very successful and seemingly well adjusted. She talked about her very strong relationship with her parents, who always said to her "never go so far you can't come back". For kids of this age (and in instances like this) I actually think this is some of the possible advice you can give.

Right... will leave it alone now!
