Teenage girls and boyfriends …
By Mother | June 20, 2006
How old were you when you had your first boyfriend? I was 16 - when I had my first boyfriend. But, it wasn’t really a serious kind of relationship … I remember that fun “butterfly” feeling in your stomach when you know you are going to see “him”…. That was soooooo long ago but I can still remember that feeling.
My daughter is now 15 and I know … I know that she has been secretly seeing someone special. We have had a brief conversation about it … she didn’t deny but she didn’t admit that she did have a boyfriend. She has been talking about a specific BOY a few times - she has been more open to her dad that me … kinda makes me feel sad , but, oh well, if she is more comfortable talking to her dad - what can I do?
What worries me is that my daughter will be a sophomore in highschool next year and the boy starts to go to college (freshman) next year. I think he is too old for her. I fear that she can get her little heart broken - no mother wants that for her daughter. How else do I tell her with out sounding too protective - I need advise moms of teens! A few times her dad has picked up per cell phone because it was ringing in the middle of the night - the boy was calling at unbeleiveable hours at night - sooooo, I had to take her cell phone …. but did it stop her? Nope, she managed to ask her younger brother for his phone and was talking to the boy using my sons phone at again - odd hours at night …. soooooo, I had to confiscate my son’s phone too. I feel bummed …. partly because - when I asked her who she was talking to at midnight, she was quick to answer that it was her girl friend “Olivia”. She lied … it really broke my heart …. I am soooooo disappointed. I thought we were open with each other - but I guess not. My dilemma is …. should I confront her? Definitely, I will let her know that I do not appreciate the lying - but, I want to let her know that if she needs to talk to anyone I am still here. I know - is there a way to acheive this?
I know she doesn’t tell me everything - I am not asking to be one of her “girlfriends” - I however would like to know what’s going on … I know it doesn’t get any easier especially with teens - if you have any advise on how I can deal with this … please do share.

what worries me is when your daughter starts to date. FIRST IT IS A BOY HER AGE FROM HER TRACK TEAM. THEN ITS A 23 YEAR OLD. i HAVE DONE EVERYTHING TO KEEP MDAUGHTER FROM MAKING CHOICES THAT WILL EFFECT HER BADLY. NOW I’, ON THE WHY TO THE POLICESTATION TO FILE CHARGES ON THIS MAN. YES HE IS A MAN NOT A TEENAGER, AS FOR MY DAUGHTER AND THE LIES SHE HAS BEEN TELLING GROUND AND LOSS OF CELL PHONE AND ALL THE HEART TO HEARTS HAVE NOT HELP. SO MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE SENT HER TO HER BIO DAD FOR THE REST OF THE SUMMER WITH COUNCIALING IN MIND. IF ANYONE HAS any ideas ii would be glad to hear them. karrie
