[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 697211, member: 20051"] You are way, way overstepping your bounds. None of what this child has done are atypical things for a 15 nearly 16 year old girl. You are using your money to impose your religious beliefs on this child, who is not even yours. 15 year old girls have sex, and, hey, she is being responsible, using condoms. 15 year old girls are curious about alcohol. All of this is not, terribly abnormal behavior. If you want to support and sponsor this girl then do so out of the goodness of your heart, not out of a need to control her force your own view on her. Girls this age are coming into adulthood and may have beliefs or feelings that differ from older people's. It isn't your place to discipline this child, it is her parents. You have no right even touching a phone that was given to her by her parents. If you are operating as a mentor then how about sitting down and discussing with her how she feels and what her beliefs are instead of judging and enforcing your own beliefs upon her. If you feel you are too far apart in your beliefs then withdraw your financial support. I, too, think you need counseling to figure out why you are so over involved with this girl. There are a lot of charities where people of means can help children, but you need to respect boundaries. [/QUOTE]
