I remember that girl Lulu and she just sounded lovely - hope she's doing OK now. We all know that there are teenagers out there who've had a REALLY rough trot and deserve all the kindness and fair go they can get. Unfortunately, there's others like DSD who can talk the talk and get MASSES of sympathy because on the surface their version of events sounds plausible to an outside party.

I predict she will come back with, I think I should come to Woodend but can I spend weekends at my friend's parents house?

I also don't know how I'm going to get past the fact that I actually don't think she's a decent human being right now. The lying, stealing, ripping off friends and manipulating people is REALLY getting to me because I really feel I'm dealing with a miniature version of her mum. I think I'm just going to have to be upfront with her and tell her how I feel about it (leaving out the Freudian mum bit) and say I'll treat her civilly but I'm really sus about her ATM.
