[QUOTE="DDD, post: 580566, member: 35"] It's a little late for my one and only suggestion.......and she is too old. on the other hand for parents of younger teens we did not allow the use of the word boyfriend at our house. Every possible future boyfriend was referred to as "your new friend John" or "your friend from X". It helped with the younger teens because they got the message that you can't have a boyfriend (or a girlfriend) until you have known that person for quite awhile. You have to know their family, their favorite foods, their sense of humor etc. etc. etc. Somehow all of them "got" the message that they were welcome to have friends and their friends would be welcome to visit our home for dinner or whatever BUT they were not allowed to have boyfriend's who were new acquaintances. Sorry...it works better at 14, 15, etc. Do you best to dial it back and put in perspective for her. Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
