what things should a person her age do? As she has pointed out, around here most people her age are pregnant, smoking, drinking, getting tattoos and piercings, doing drugs, making drugs (meth) or working at becoming pregnant. So her laptop and cola addictions really pale in comparison.
I'll say. She must feel like a fish out of water with those peers.
spends 8-10 hours a day on the lap top and if I don't take it away, she'll be up all night on it and sometimes has trouble getting up in the morning. It's like she has no control over it so I am taking it away in the evening which isn't going well.
I'd be concerned too. Even if it's "social" time, that's too much if she can't regulate it.
This is tough stuff-- I hope you get good answers from the eval.
Best,
DeeDee
