[QUOTE="Steely, post: 89357, member: 3301"] I would not tell her much of anything, because you will jeapordize your relationship. I would simply state your concern, and calmly continue to state your concern, and hope it sinks in. None of us really listen to people with unwanted advice, especially parents. We have to ask for the advice, for it to be affective. You run the risk of pushing a wedge between you and your girl, and that is the last thing you want. Sometimes, life lessons are hard. But they can only be learned, not taught. She will have to figure out for herself, that this is dangerous, or unsafe, or unhappy. All you can do, is point out to her you do not approve. That in and of itself goes a long ways for kids, she is listening to you. She just may not be acting on it yet. [/QUOTE]
