    Yes, friends who happen to be boys at 14. Of course you can't lock her away. Dating at that age in another matter however. Have you talked with your daughter to find out why she likes this guy above others? What special about him calling? Parents often 'separate' boys and girls at a most crucial time when true friendships can and should be fostered due to their fears of sexual activity, Has it worked?? Take a look at teen pregnancy statistics! Once your daughter learns to be friends with a boy a wealth of learning opportunity opens up (Not sexual) A male friend could be a most valuable tool in learning what guys to stay away from. Your FRIENDS always let you know!! Remove the mystery. My own daughter was encouraged to have both male and female friends, and she is still friends with them all since second grade. She is graduating from college this spring and no pregnancies, no hypersexual activity, no disrespecting her parents etc. Keep an open line of communication with her, be open to invite the guys to your home for visits, let him get to know you and your family as well as get to know him and his. Knowing that he has to be accountable to more than just her, is prohibitive to monkey business.
