Parents blame teen’s friends for underage drinking episode
Dear Abby: My 15-year-old daughter, “Jenny,” went to a sleepover with her best friends, “Penny” and “Ginger.” Penny’s parents went out and left the girls alone. They drank some beer. Jenny and Ginger were sober, but Penny also drank hard liquor and got very drunk. I found out about it after Penny texted my daughter and Ginger to tell them how upset and disappointed her parents were and that they were demanding letters of apology from all three girls. I thought it was over the top, but realized Jenny was in the wrong.
