My Daughter is 16 years old and her boyfriend is 17. They have been together for a few months. Anyways he moved away. Like 4 hours away(in another state). She is up all night on the phone crying. She says she will wait for him. He says the same. I dont think she should wait for him. What for? He is a "fast" 17 year old if you get what im saying. She cant seem to get ahold of him on the weekends cuz well she finds out hes been partying. I think she should just drop his no good sorry butt. If he comes back like he says Im telling ya he will bring her some kinda funky disease. What do you think?

i suggest you talk to your daughter or to her bestfriend and tell her that what she is doing is wrong and could totally ruin her life. she is still very young to act or react like that she should concentrate more on her studies and date other guys or hang out with friends or be with you.

From personal experience, your daughter will be fine. She will soon realize that he isn't worth waiting for, and will get bored. Explain to her that it isn't healthy for her to be focused in on this one boy who doesn't seem to care about her. Rally her friends for support, and tell her it's time to move on. In all honesty you can tell a teenage girl a million times that the boy is no good, but it doesn't sink in until what mom says comes true.

She is young and there are plenty of other fish in the sea. Now, for a woman like me, who is in her 20's, and especially for women in their 30's and 40's, we need men because we are not getting any younger.

As for me, even if you tell your daughter those things, she just wont be saying or believe .. " You think so,Ma? " blah blah.. Sometimes, you have to let them experience to be hurt and all that for them to grow up, well, experience is the best teacher in life, and if that guy is indeed partying and all that crap, I don't think he's coming back. Well, you'll never know

Sometimes we have to let them come to this type of conclusion on their own. I was in a similar situation and it broke my heart to see my daughter wasting time on a worthless boy who was toying with her emotions. However, it only took about 6 weeks before she came to the realization on her own and I didn't have to look like the bad guy. These situations typically work out on their own. Comfort her, love her and let her know you are there for her. Maybe engage in a special "girls-day-out" and help her get her mind off of things for awhile.

well, you're her mom...do it gently, in a motherly way, that there isn't probably any chance that their relationship won't work out. they do say, mothers know best... but although it's understandable that you don't want her hurt,she'll get your point once she learns the lesson firsthand. You have a right to be concerned, but not to do all the work. after all, you're her mom.
