[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 169331, member: 1550"] Thanks for the responses. I am a little touchy about cracking the whip completely because that can often lead to rebellion and keeping secrets. My daughter has a private MySpace, but she knows I can check it any time I want, and I do. I also check her cell phone, including who called her, who she texted, who texted her etc. She is really a good kid, but she looks a lot older than twelve and is quite well liked. I am thinking that hanging out with friends is ok. Group dating is ok at 14. Anything more depends is at least fifteen and depends on the boy and her own maturity and choices. I was allowed to date at fourteen and I did and I stayed a virgin until I was married, although I married early (20). My 24 year old daughter, who got into mucho trouble, did not really date until seventeen, but she also had sex at seventeen. Truly, I have no idea what works and what doesn't work. For now, no dating at all. She does have a lot of girlfriends--tons--but like Dreamer said, they are not always "good" friends. She is a kid who everyone likes and she switches bff's routinely and also suffers her share of betrayals. Her biggest interest is sports--she's a gifted athlete--and most of her energy goes there. I guess I'll just keep her busy...lol. For her, nothing beets playing softball, basketball, track, volleyballl, etc. etc. etc. thanks for the input. Lots fo chew on. [/QUOTE]
