[quote=Anonymous]I had a friend from 13-15 who I was told I couldnt see.

She was sweet and fun, but really messed up - came from an abusive household, parents on drugs, liar, ran away from her grandmother, and was very promiscuous.

My parents didnt know all the details but they didnt like what they did know and did not allow me to see her.  I snuck out to see her as often as possible and did things I would not have done with my other friends, but also felt like I was the only sane thing in her life.

Eventually she got involved with a very possessive boyfriend who didnt allow her to see me. She was pregnant at 16 and we stopped talking shortly after that. It was too late for me in some respects, as I became involved with a guy that I would never have encountered but for her.

I'll never know if my parents did the right thing, but I always think that if they had allowed me to spend time with her, but at our house or under more supervised circumstances, I wouldnt have gotten into the situations that I did because I had to sneak around.
