I'm a Mom, but this is about my sister who just turned 21. She dosen't attend school and works less than 20 hours a week. She's been couch surfing for the last couple of months, and previously has made the choice to live on the streets. Her friends, whom she looks up to, in no way inspires her to work towards any form of achievment, and hence has choosen this path of self destruction.

How can I help inspire her to make better choices without enabling her??
