Well...the way I see it is... if she is dating at 14 it really doesn't seem to make a difference if she is dating a 17 year old or a 15-16 year old. A 17 year old has about the same mentality as a 15-16 year old.
If you try to discourage it she may rebel and or sneak around. I know as a mum to a daughter myself I would prefer knowing who she is with and where she is, appose to having her sneak around and not be certain as to where and whom she is with.
I would say....be open with her discuss safe sex and provide her with plenty of condoms. Keep the communication open between the two of you. If you can be open she will come to you if she needs you. By her confiding in you, you will learn there is nothing to worry about and that she can be trusted. ↑ |
| When I was a teenager I found older people more interesting too. I still do. As an adult I now notice the attention of young woman. Its a fact of life. ↑ |
| i am in a similar situation, i don't have a problem with it but my husband does. He says that because he know how a 17 year old boy thinks. I have been around the boys her age and they have the exact same that's that the 17 year old does. ↑ |
hi, my name is Lindsey I am currently 17 years old and although I am young I went through exactly what you are talking about. When I was 13 I dated a 16 year old boy. My now 19 year old sister did the exact same thing so it wasn't my mom's first time to hear about this. She told my sister fine, but if I hear of anything or see anything I'm not allowing this. sure enough everything went fine. they stayed together all throughout high school but ended up splitting off and going their own ways in college. I on the other hand, was a "bad girl". My parents are divorced and my father is a terrible guy, they were always in court. I needed an escape. I used weed as an escape and became anorexic. Then came Ian. I like to think of him as my savior. He made me feel beautiful and like i did not need to be doing those things to myself. sure enough he changed me. it was a miracle. I was headed down a bad path. i was going down hard, until i met him. he changed everything he served a purpose for me. Im not sure what kind of kid your daughter or her boyfriend is, but I say give him or them a chance. now, ian and I are still together he is finishing up college and I'm going into college. I'm living with him in an apartment. it changed me so much I'm completely different. I went from C's and D's in high school to now deciding between a local university to possibly Yale. I say give them a shot, but also keep an eye out for them.
-and yes, this is a true story. very very true. good luck ;] ↑ |
