Sorry for the tesn acting up Get a cop to set her up a court date and they will drug test her every week and may even put her on house arrest or while she's in school trying finding a probation officer that will come out and speak with her and put Hebron probation aka entense probation which is she has a curfew can't do anything has to go straight to school and come home and the probation officer comes out everyday an does a drug test If she fails they will put her in YDC and maybe she will learn her lesson trust me I went they that and that's all I could do is everything I just told you

Oh my gosh!  I am very sorry for the pickle you are in.  It's got to be very trying times....  I can certainly sense your urgency.

So, she is on meds, correct?  Is she currently seeing a therapist of sorts?  If not, it might not be a bad idea and it would be wonderful if you could all do some therapy as a family.  Often times having the outside person in the room to operate as some kind of a buffer can do wonders.

(I'm not doctor, but it just seems that there may be something else besides the bipolar issue....)  

I wish you well and I hope you find the help that you need!
