[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not my 14 year old.

There's the usual talk, but I'm wondering more if you've said something that just really made a difference. Or if you remember something someone said to you that really landed. Anything!

My belief is too young but mostly the kid doesn't seem as well since they started (with bf, after dating 4 months or so). But don't want to lecture or prescribe. Not my kid, but a kid I care about.[/quote]

Don’t lecture but maybe a conversation and listening ear.  Kid that age is usually seeking something they’re missing(emotional attachment, validation, confidence, sense of belonging, feeling beautiful, feeling of choice, etc).  Try to understand their what and feelings. Also remind that most relationships at 14 don’t last as long or have the intimacy of those later.  Very few people stay with their high school bf/gf.  Doesn’t mean the relationship isn’t worthwhile in helping us grow, but one doesn’t have to grow in every area with everyone.[/quote]
