[QUOTE="terriebari, post: 953800, member: 122579"] I went through this, too, only it was me, not my child. I think when i was around 18 and again in my mid 20s. Don't nag her, and whatever you do, don't tell her all of the evil things that could happen to her. Instead, find out why she's not taking it. We all get tired of it-tired of dealing with it, tired of medications, etc. Instead, focus on all of the things she can look forward to with a long healthy lifestyle. Are there things that she loves doing? Talk about the future-her future- and all she will get to experience. She is old enough to know that if she wants to do those things, she has to be healthy to do them. Just be as positive as you can be. Because right now, she might be feeling hopeless and just tired of the whole "routine" Good luck! [/QUOTE]
