what do u think?

i am the only girl in my family that is why my parents tend to become too protective to me. i think you should allow your daughter but make her understand her limitations. we, as daughters, know that you care for us so much and you want to protect us. but we also have to be trusted and treated as an adult. we should learn to become responsible for our actions. so ithink we should not be prevented in doing what we want..

NO! You are the parent. Forget the freedom. she can have that when she's an adult. Teens need to be monitored and cared for. They are not adults just yet. The child has no responsibilities. YOU are the parent. It is up to you to contact the responsible adults where she says she'll be and see that they will really be there. Is there a party. OK, but the other parents, are they responsiblle to monitor the oarty and will they be there to make sure no one gets high or drunk? They have time for that later..but not as a minor. A sleepover? Check wiht the pparents and talk to them. Will they be there? If not..NO sleeping ovr. If they will not be at the party, no party. If they are ging to be there, though, it is your right to drop on to make sure your child IS there and that it is OK and make the parents know you reserve that right. Adults have freedom. With freedom comes responsibility, though, and teens don't "get it." This is a minor child until 18. You are responsible to know where she is and what she is up to. Make friends wiht other positive adults wiht kids her age and make sure youy all understand how you expect your daughter to act in their home. And reserve the rihgt at all times to drop in and check it out! Teens might storm into the room, slam the door, yell, etc..but it is up to you to step up and be the adult!

For me I will not let her join her friends...maye not in a night stay at the beach, she can join her friends in some party or activities.
