[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is her decision, not yours. You are overly involved.[/quote]

Honestly this. You can advise if she comes to you talk through it but insisting she stick to her plans denies her and opportunity for growth. She's in high school now and has to learn to navigate social situations on her own which includes her making some mistakes.
Flipping out about this ensures she won't want to discuss this stuff with you in the future.
And making boys the forbidden fruit just makes them all the more enticing.

Oh, so we teach them it's ok to ditch friends for boys? Shaking my head! It's no surprise so many of you are on here lamenting your lack of friendships!![/quote]

Ummm it is a dance. It is normal to go with a date of the gender to which you are attracted. At this age it is normal to start prioritizing a boyfriend or girlfriend over friends especially at a dance. If she likes the boy she shouldn’t turn him down. Alternatively she can just tell him that he is taking both of them to the dance (which is what I recall announcing to the boy who asked me out at that age). Or the friend can get off her butt and find a date. [/quote]

If going with a date is such a priority, she should never have made plans with the friend. Now she is leaving her high and dry! That's rude by all accounts and all levels. [/quote]
