Ally update

Ally is now 16 and no she is not responsible enough to drive. 2 years ago she was diagnosed bipolar too. And it has been a struggle finding the right medication. She is on her third since being diagnosed. Each time before the changing of medications she has a bad manic attack. I am scared when she gets manic that she might hurt herself or others. It really stresses me out. It seems to happen when I am the only one with her. She has been doing good for around 10 months now. I recently found out she was mistreated by a boy last October we have her in counseling. She will not talk to me about it. There are times I don't know if its her issues or the fact that she is a teenager that she drives me nuts. I love her bunches but she needs to learn the meaning of two words at least: listening and being quiet.
