[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, thanks to all for your replies and concern. Last night DD told him in no uncertain terms she was not interested. Today, we discussed blocking him and why that was a better approach than just ignoring. She agreed, and I said the next step would be to tell him in person that no means no (those suggesting the possibility of ADHD issues make a good point.) After that, I said she would need to talk to a counselor, as I am sure they have dealt with these issues before. There was some resistance to this idea, but I'm trying to get across the notion that this may come up again in her life, and she should learn the correct way to handle it. In the past, she has spoken to counselors about bullying, and that was resolved effectively by her taking charge. I think we were all thrown a bit, as it's just the second week of high school, and everyone is getting their footing, so I didn't want to go into the admin with guns a blazing (but I will if I have to).

fine, op, but I think you or another PP mentioned that he can see when she's read his texts (like on texts, depending on whom I've texted and how their phone is set up, you can see "Read at 10:14" or something like that.  Even if that's an automatic reply, the brain interprets it as positive feedback. That's not good because not only is it positive feedback, but it's intermittent reinforcement as she is not replying.   So she needs to do whatever to make sure he does not get the "Read" message.[/quote]
