After all, I am almost expert. I DO have a D18 who was raised in Christian schools, at the pool/tennis court/golf course at the country club, w/a lake house to have friends at, and parents who actually made her follow rules. She ended up having to be switched to, yet, a smaller Christian school, her NEW VW convertible pale yellow bug sold, her registration from a major midwest university pulled, and asked to move out earlier than expected... OH, and BTW, did I mention she has a TATTOO hidden just below her bikini line? Niiiiiiice! I am truly an expert!
In all seriousness, we've been through the ringer with this one... She's a free spirit, who could never follow a rule. She never really crossed the line, but definitely rode it. She's now moved to an apartment locally, and will be attending the community college in a few weeks (on her dime!) since her grades slipped (not awful, but not worthy of $25k/year in university tuition). I'd like to think we're on the right path, but I've seen her facebook! UGH! I try to remember that it's nothing really that I didn't do growing up... My parents just didn't know any better, and I guess I was sneakier. And, university tuition was not $25k!
So, I can offer some good opinion, mostly on what NOT to do!

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
