[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD (10th grade) is one of the youngest in her grade. It means that most everyone she knows is getting or has gotten their license before she will. [b]We are getting lots of requests to get rides with friends.[/b] So far, our rule has been that she cannot ride with any friends (all of these kids have had a license for a few months, if that!). We will drive her where she wants to go. [b]She’s embarrassed now and throwing a fit that we aren’t letting her drive with friends.[/b] We do plan to loosen up once these kids have been driving a year, and in that case, DD can drive herself places.

[b]Are we being unreasonable?[/b] I would love to hear how others handle this. The news stories just really scare me. I won’t give in because she’s upset about it, but I would like to understand if people think we are too strict about this. [/quote]

If she is throwing a fit about this - no. When she is ready to have a conversation about guidelines - yes.
Have your daughter propose the rules and discuss.  Think about why you are saying yes or no.  
Have a commitment to revisit the rules in 2 months and put that on the calendar.
