Karen, we have done everything you listed. Last summer was the journal. She did not take to it. Funny thing was my son did, and I was surprised to see he still kept writing long past summer. The summer beofre last was where she had to do community service at the local retirement home. All that taught her was old men are sly creatures (she said they all pinched her butt! )

She actually does have two jobs this summer- lifegaurding at the pool and at the local ice cream shop where she worked last summer and all school year. She got my youngest daughter a job there this summer too.

We've tried so many things with her. Sigh.
