[QUOTE="Rannveig, post: 668639, member: 5689"] Sheesh, I don't even like it when people tag [I]me[/I] on Facebook. I find it terribly invasive. So this guy clearly is not a winner in the judgment department. And the dagger thing is certainly an additional tip-off that this guy is bad news. The thing is, when I was your daughter's age, I got in some icky situations as well -- situations where my desire to be found desirable overcame my good judgment. And my mother's harsh reaction just made me despise her and feel bad about myself. So I think you need to handle this very delicately. Can you try to talk to your daughter as you would to a girlfriend? Help her to enjoy the positive attention while realizing that this is a not a person with whom it's a good idea to have further interactions? I don't know, I think this is really tricky. My mother freaking out when the wrong guys paid attention to me used to make me feel really horrible. I think it was counterproductive in some ways. If there's any way you can share your concern without taking all the joy out of being young and rocking a paisley dress, I think that would be ideal. Be an ally, not an overseer. (Easy for me to say -- my daughter is only 11!). Sending lots of sympathy-- [/QUOTE]
