Professionals Only Please- What Is a Good Course of Action When for a Troubled Teenage Girl?

Question by green kitty: Professionals only please- what is a good course of action when for a troubled teenage girl?
This is not my child, I am trying to find some answers to help a single father. His daughter is 16 years old, she is sexually active with a least one partner maybe more, may have previously terminated a pregnancy, has been experimenting with hard drugs (cocaine) and has always performed fair to poor in school. She has never been aggressive or violent, just very sneaky. The state that we live in does not have a lot of resources for this kind of thing. I don’t know what advice to give.

Best answer:

Answer by ldysam1
He can go to a free clinic (like planned parenthood) they will have options there, or maybe to the guidence counsler at her school. Get some ideas and suggestions. He needs to talk to her, be there for her. She will come around when she feels like it is safe to talk to him and that he will listen and not judge.
Good Luck
