[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 548845, member: 1550"] I am actually going to say it is sadly kind of typical teen. We don't restrict my easy child on her phone, but if we did s he would try to find ways to text when she wanted to. Also, my daughter, who has never been in any trouble, often would rather walk to school than get a ride, if she has friends to go with. Do they ever talk to guys? Sure! They're teens. NOTHING strange about that unless they are going to smoke pot or have sex with the boys. You know your daughter best. Sometimes my daughter's friend who lives nearby comes over early to keep her company while she gets ready and she's a good kid too. Once in a while a few boys, who are good friends with easy child also stop by, and they walk together. No biggie. Now... You have to know your kid. My oldest daughter, when she was a teen, would walk to school at the correct time and meet a bunch of kids who smoked pot with her behind a gas station. Since we only lived a half block from the school, and my daughter was only twelve, it never occurred to me that anything wrong was going on as she walked to school. Or as she walked home. I may add that if I had driven her to school the one block, she still would have found a way to smoke pot because that was the sort of thing she did and she was attracted to "bad" kids. On the texting I can't tell you regarding my ex-difficult child. When she was in high school, almost nobody had a cell phone, but they still managed to get into a ton of trouble. And she didn't sleep either. Once WE fell asleep, she did drugs and sometimes even walked out the door to meet her "friends." I would have preferred her texting from home...lol :) Again though, cell phones are still pretty new. My daughter is now 28 and there were very few back then for kids. Back to your difficult child...there is no way to keep her from boys other than to send her to a convent :) and at her age, many girls become boy crazy. It is also normal for boys and girls to just be good friends too. If you don't like her texting between certain hours, just lock up the ipod between those hours. probem solves. I recommend a fire box with a key that you sleep with. [/QUOTE]
