[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 218777, member: 1550"] I know that some kids are sexually active, and definitely sexually provocative. My daughter certainly likes to look attractive, and she is very pretty and looks older. I also know, as sure as I'm sitting here, that she has never tried to seduce a boy--that the idea scares her. I can't go into how I know, but I do know. For now, we're good. All I can do is arm with the right information and guide her. There are no guarantees in life. I know kids who went to private schools and church every Sunday and whose parents barely let them out of sight who get into trouble. So far I'm not concerned about N. Of all my kids, she has the best head on her shoulders so far. She also has something important that most difficult child don't have: She has a healthy fear of others and of high risk situations. "Scary kids"--goths, punks, just sleazy looking kids scare her and she stays away from them. I don't believe in shackling your kids to the house just because something may happen or they may make a bad choice, at least not when they seem like level-headed kids. So we'll see what happens. If I didn't let her on MySpace here, she would certainly use it at her friend's houses (and she has A LOT of friends). I do try to keep a good eye on her and we talk a lot about "dangerous situations." I will certainly alert her to the dangers of the internet, although I suspect she already knows...take care :) [/QUOTE]
