Is Honesty the Best Policy?

Harrison and Marisah are at the perfect age for them to be completely honest about what happens in their life.  I enjoy that they can be so open with me about their friends, what happens at school, who they like and who they don't.  I like that they trust me feel as if they can speak freely.


Joseph and Hailee on the other hand, I'm not so sure I want them to be completely honest.  I have always had the same relationship with Joseph and Hailee as I have with Marisah and Harrison, but they are at a rough age and have been through a lot.  I do like that they trust me, but sometimes the information I receive is not what I want to hear.  I know they are doing what a lot of teenagers do as far as drinking and experimenting, but what do I do with the information they give me?  I feel as if I tell the people who are supposed to care, they won't.  I'm sure their parents know what they are doing, but they don't do anything about it.


It's such a tough position for me to be in.  I desperately want to help them and try to get them on the right track in life, but I don't know how.
