[QUOTE="Stella Johnson, post: 235335, member: 9"] difficult child went to church with Grandma today. Some boy in her class told her to kiss him on the lips. The teacher told Grandma. Grandma came storming in demanding I talk to difficult child right then. She just makes it all worse. She thinks it's her place to demand when I talk to my daughter and about what. I told her to leave. I asked difficult child why she did it. She said because he told her to. Then giggled and said he's weird. I told her that she is not to do things just because someone especially boys tell you to. She's a young lady and needs to act like one. THen she kept asking me why she can't have a boyfriend. I told her she isn't old enough. She rolled her eyes. For those that don't know my difficult child, she is very emotionally and mentally immature for her age. She is more along the lines of a 7 or 8 yr old in a very developed preteen body. She has the hormones of a preteen thrown in as well. Boys that are 14 and 15 follow her around the neighborhood trying to flirt with her because they don't know she's barely 12. I'm terrified right now. difficult child is so stubborn and headstrong at home but she'll do anything her peers tell her to do. She is constantly in trouble at home because I will tell her she can't do something then does it anyway and says her friends told her to do it so she did. Then I of course get the "I'm sorry" line. Why can't she be this stubborn when it comes to boys??? I know I need to have "The Talk" with her. I just have no idea how to start or go about it. She's so impressionable with her friends. I'm scared to death she's going to get talked into something. Fran, Want to drive down here and take her on one of your speeding in the BFT, locked doors talks?:frowny: Steph [/QUOTE]
