Re:boyfriend trouble or normal behaviour - 2006/11/27 05:57
From the way you describe the scenario, it seems your daughter is acting like she's already at least an 18 year old! But that's not the case! She has got to wake up and remember that she's just starting on 16. It's your right as a parent and legal guardian to know about plans she may have to take trips-- especially those overseas! But you will have to assert yourselves as parents in order to demand to know things. Knowing teenagers, it's very likely that any trips with boys can involve sexual activity. You must remind your teenager that you are not the enemy here even when you assert yourself as her parent. You must stand your ground firmly but at the same time make sure that she is aware that your main concern is her safety and well-being. For a teenager, understanding the reasons "why" behind discipline can actually help them accept proper guidance more easily. As for your stress, she must understand how her actions also have an affect on your own health as well. Make sure she knows exactly what's going on. Goodluck!
