  • in reply to: Should my teen daughter have “boyfriends”? #43375

    My parents were the same way. I was not allowed to ‘date’ until I was 16. Then once I turned 16 my parents found ways of grounding me and only letting me hang out with certain friends that they approved of…no boys. I counted down the days until I could go off to college and do as I pleased. And I did, and almost failed my first year of college. I know this sounds like an extreme case, but it happens quite often. I feel as though when social life in high school is smotherd it back fires when the teen is grown and has to make their own choices. At least while shes in high school if she makes a wrong choice you will be there to catch and guide her. It would be better for you to approve of her having a boy as a friend that way she can talk to you and be open about it, and not have to go behind your back.
