is she really boy crazy? - 2007/04/14 12:26 my 15 year old daughter has been telling me she likes a different guy every week! I know she doesn't really "go out" with them because I don't allow her to go anywhere really.She has said things like"mom this could be something great" or I think this is "the one". She was interested in a 16 year old boy until I looked at his My Space and he was posing as a "crip" gang member!!!! I stopped that real quick. I have had to put a so called "stop" to a lot of her crushes because they are so random and pathetic. The only thing i keep thinking is she is getting a reputation at school and she is a cheerleader where more people look at you under a microscope. She did have a tru love relationship for a whole year until recently. She and our preacher's oldest son have had a crush on each other for 6 years then when she was 13 he asked to "go out" and they did under my microscope and he bought her a promise ring after a year passed. Then she broke up this past summer to take some time to get prepared for freshman year(he's one year ahead of her) Then when she realized she wanted to date him again he had already started going out with a fellow cheerleader of whom she was close friends to. NOT ANYMORE. So any advice?

Re:is she really boy crazy? - 2007/04/30 10:18 At adolescence, it is normal for girls to get all revved up and excited about teen boys. Teenage girls can go through a number of crushes. If a girl is more vocal about this, then she can get talked about or gossiped about by her fellow classmates. It is normal for you to worry about all this, but at best you should be there for her when she wants to talk to someone about boy troubles rather than worrying 24/7 about putting a “stop” to petty crushes. Be there to reassure her about her self-image so that she knows that even if she’s single- she’s complete.

Re:is she really boy crazy? - 2007/05/17 15:35 It really is normal to have crushes especially at her age. If you think your daughter's random switch is bothering you, then have a talk with her and explain your points in a way that she can understand.
