Gail, have you seen the new DVD for parents of teenagers titled "Help! My Teen is Dating" at www.helpmyteenisdating.com?
Teenagers & Sex (Exploring in the Woods)Reply to this Comment
My daughter met this boy online. I know what your thinking. ONLINE. that's crazy. Yes it is. We had all the right talks. I am very open with both of my kids. Talk talk talk. Always talking with them about whats right, wrong, dangers, etc.... She claims they met at the mall but I am not buying it.
I have installed spy software on her computer and track her. This is how I know she didn't meet the boy at the mall. I have tried to catch her in lies but without giving up my source have not been able to do it. We have got to be smarter than them right????
On Friday I had a long talk with her and found out two weeks ago while at the park with me her and this boy fooled around while walking in the woods. (she says they were just exploring....NOTE TO SELF...Exploring is bad) She let him finger her while she was on her period. I know Crazy and disgusting. I found out through the computer that they fooled around at my house while I was making dinner. She told me he has sent her pictures via text of his penis. This after about 4 months ago we had to take her phone away because she was sending bad pictures to a boy at school.
During this talk on Friday I reminded her of all our previous discussions. I reminded her that as a teenager you are going to make mistakes and the great thing is you are still living at home and can make those mistakes, pay the consequences, and learn from them. If you do not learn from them and continue to make the same mistakes then we have a problem. My plan on Friday was to catch her in a lie based on what I know from her computer and forbid her to see the boy anymore. But dam-it I could not catch her.
So this weekend however I logged on to her myspace and found messages she hadn't deleted yet. She knows I log on as this was the only way I would allow her to have a myspace account. I monitor it and she has to email me all her passwords. I found several conversations over two days with emails that were basically online sex. Because I think there are a lot of parents out there that think their kids are not doing this I am going to quote some of the dialogue. WARNING...it may be a shocker to some.
Visit my blog at http://parenting-letsbereal.blogspot.com/ to see some of the conversation.
Anyone out there have a story or advise for me. I know I can't be the only one dealing with this....
Write me at http://parenting-letsbereal.blogspot.com/.
Thanks
