[quote=Anonymous]I had this experience as a teen as well. Not pretty now, but I had a pretty phase as a teen an I looked older than I was which didn't help. It could be scary, especially when significantly older men would approach me in the grocery store when I was buying juice boxes. I usually told them I was married which generally worked (in the 80s, might now work now.) At the mall I would duck into a store. Ultimately, you need to empower her to say no I'm not interested, or I'm here with my boyfriend (it's ok if she lies!) And teach her to give a fake name. My mother didn't teach me that. I learned it from a couple of kids at a public bus stop after I'd been followed by a gas station attendant for two blocks and he asked my name. It didn't occur to me not to answer the question. The other two kids asked why I gave him my name which made me go oh duh, that was dumb.

100% ok for her to have a set of lies to hand out but at the same time she needs to understand not everyone is a predator. Sometimes people really are just going the same way or saying hi to be friendly or whatever. [/quote]
