[QUOTE="DDD, post: 451457, member: 35"] It may be too late to add this thought but..I would advise Jumper not to share that information with her friends. Teens often don't realize the snowball results of some tidbit and how it can cause harm with-o that intention. Personally I would also encourage her to focus on her normal activities and not hone in on this issue. The SM may just be afraid that their teen might be diverting his goal due to the relationship. She may have had sex at an early age and wants him to avoid the complexities. Maybe she is a looney toon or maybe she is a racist. No matter what she is or what her motivations are I'd want Jumper to avoid the conflict and just be her happy self. I fell in love at sixteen. My parents were polite but did not like the boy because he wasn't from our socio-economic circle. His parents were polite but did not like me because (1) they thought I was spoiled due to my family's worth and more importantly (2) because they were afraid I would derail their son's fast track to success. He too was an awesome student with a very bright future. We stayed together for two years until I realized that I was too young to make a lifelong commitment and that he, indeed, would likely achieve his goals more easily with-o me at his side. He did! The point of the story is that it is not new or unusual for parents to be driven by justified or unjustifoed fears. I hope the dust settles soon and both of the kids enjoy their upcoming year.
