Daughter is 13 and having a boyfriend who does drugs is what she wants?

My daughter is hanging out with the wrong crowd, meaning the boy does drugs and want her to have sex with him (on chat and text, he asked her if she partyed, is a virgin and would she do drugs.)

She has been to his house, and now he has come over here with 2 other buddies and he is in grade 9 and she is in grade 7. I am worried and fearful of all this. She does not listen to me, she does not want anything other than being with this guy and being 'popular'. She is wearing one shoulder clothes and short shorts. I can't stand to sit idly by and watch her be used by this guy and then he cast her off and ruin her reputation. Any suggestions on how to reach her with common sense?

    If I know one thing about teenage girls then I know that you won't reach her through common sense and she will not see it your way. You will just have to grit your teeth put your foot down and be 'uncool' to protect her. Rember you're her mother first not her friend.

    I think its' admirable that you want to approach this situation in a claim common sense matter. All the danger signs are there; being careful could never hurt. I think your daughter believes that this older high school guy will win popularity and envy for her. I'm worried and fearful for both of you. Question! Any positive male roles involved in her life, father, grandfather, uncle, big brother or even a cousin that you can team up with for help and support? Men know what's on other Men's minds, and one with street knowledge and who has been where this boy is now would be extremely helpful.

    I can understand how frustrating and scary this is for you. A hard situation to deal with. Communication is always the best way to handle things but thats not always possible when the child isn't interested in listening. You could put your foot down and demand that she not see him anymore but esplain to her your reasoning. You could also approach her with a more senrtimental approach and start out by telling her how much you love her and then go into explaining your fears and concern about this guy. Give examples maybe. Tell her about your childhood and similar issuses you had with your parents and how you want for you and her to be closer than that. Thirdly, you could talk to the boys parents and explain to them in a reasonable way that your daughters involvement with their son is creating problems for your daughter in what ever way you think would work. Just don't put their child down or they will not be reseptive. The thing is, you know your daughter and the situation better than anyone and you should search your heart and decide what would work best. Good luck because this is a very critical point in her future and you are doing well by seeking advice so as to best deal with this for her sake.

    First of all, if you don't want her wearing those clothes, why did you buy them for her?

    If she went with friends and bought them herself, why did you let her go?

    I know this is a grave problem for you, and all you want is the best for her.

    Call the Maury Povich Show:

    1-866-99-MAURY

    or

    1-866-996- 2879

    That show is run by Maury Povich, and he solves all problems with relationships and sexual activities. For example, one time on his show, there were four or five girls who kept having sex, prostituting, and doing drugs. If their parents told them to stop, they would run away from home. Now these girls got out of control. They slapped and assaulted their parents, cursed, had sex over 3 times a day, did drugs, skipped school, stole, had no respect for anyone. Finally, their parents called the Maury show, and they came on it. They had a discussion, but when it was obvious that the girls didn't care, Maury took action. Maury sent them to jail, which was what their future held. They stayed there for a day or two. They were treated like real prisoners. This changed them, and finally, they were released and went straight into their parents' arms.

    If you call the Maury Povich show, your daughter can be saved. Call now.

    Hope this helped =) Good luck!!!

    Your her parent, lay down the law. If you wan't her to carry on with how she's acting then let her be, but if you wan't to make her change (which is for the better) then stop her from seeing him. She's 13! Tell her with making her own decisions comes responsibility and consequences. If she carry's on seeing him she will most likley become a teen pregnant druggy. And that will NOT make her popular.

    Find out why she feels she needs to get attention for him, why she feels he's the one for her.. Have her explain what's her trouble in her life, and just LISTEN.. But encourage her, let her know you love her no matter what she decieds. Then tell her how you feel but as a concerned mother, how the drug world will destroy her without care..

    DO something about it! You shouldn't be begging her, you need to put your foot down! You are going to let your daughter do whatever she wants and ignore you? She is obviously spoiled, then. It's weird that I'm only 13 and telling you this...but my parents would never let me be that way...you have to tell her what's what. Parents these days...so afraid...!
