I want to thank all of you for your insight and words of encouragement. My daughter is awesome. I've shown or told her of most of your comments. I'm impressed that she wasn't the only one of her peers that complained about the assignment.
This has been a long topic of conversation with us tonight. She knows she has full parental support, but she is firm on handling this on her own. She's 18 now. If she changes her mind and wants her mom to step in, I will.
