It seems as if the poster is asking for parenting advice. Do you have any?Lindsay wrote: ↑Mon Feb 07, 2022 8:18 pmI didn’t say poor parenting, but 14 year olds need supervision.

Enroll her in boys and girls club activities, see which after school programs the school supports, see if there’s sports she could get into that have coach led practices, maybe she might like band…

The very large majority of 14 year olds have some time unsupervised. It is age appropriate for a teenager to have some time without an adult. And yes, this is the right post to deny that in, anyone of any age can be manipulated into a bad situation.Lindsay wrote: ↑Mon Feb 07, 2022 8:18 pmI didn’t say poor parenting, but 14 year olds need supervision.

Anyone of any age can be manipulated, but children and young teens have no life experiences to help teach them red flags , which is why they need supervision.Olioxenfree wrote: ↑Mon Feb 07, 2022 9:25 pmThe very large majority of 14 year olds have some time unsupervised.

Seems to me the one that really needs supervision is the moron who thinks it’s okay to chat up young girls. Yes the dd needs to be in extracurriculars or supervised. But one should be asking why she wants attention from older men. At that age I’d be like okay this guy is creepy he’s twice my age. To me thirty was old and I think most girls would feel that way. She might need counseling so she doesn’t need to be babysat. And someone needs to arrest this guy. Or at least tell him leave my dd alone or else. Because just because this girl is unsupervised doesn’t make it right for him to be a creeper. He might decide to find some other girl where the parents can’t or don’t supervise her.Lindsay wrote: ↑Mon Feb 07, 2022 9:33 pmAnyone of any age can be manipulated, but children and young teens have no life experiences to help teach them red flags , which is why they need supervision.Olioxenfree wrote: ↑Mon Feb 07, 2022 9:25 pmThe very large majority of 14 year olds have some time unsupervised.

She needs to be shown a path towards how to live a happy life, which you’re right, might mean she’s lacking some type of love she feels she needs.
