[Margaret Z.]

What on earth should she have boyfriends for? I don’t mean to be harsh, but do you consider it precocious? Do you believe it makes you more popular? Are you trying to relive your own teenage years through your daughter?

I cannot fathom why you would permit, let alone encourage, this inappropriate behavior. She’s testing her limits. Act like a mother and not her teenage girlfriend. I have seven kids. They are all kind, respectful, intelligent, decent human beings. None was permitted to date before 16, and couldn’t single date before they were 18. They’ve always known the rules, they’ve been protected by the rules and they’re going into adulthood as mature, happy, healthy (emotionally, physically and spiritually) human beings. College, yes. Marriage, yes. Abortions, sexually transmitted diseases, broken hearts, wasted youth, bad grades: Not a one.
