[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a young freshman daughter who wants to date a Junior. When I was 15 I dated an 18 y/o, but know that it was NOT ideal (in hindsight, of course). I'm curious what other parents think?[/quote] I don't think the choice is up to you. If you forbid it, it will go underground. Then, once your teen has the hang of lying to you, it just becomes easier to lie about all sorts of things. That said, I think dating a junior is a really bad idea because she'll be exposed to the older circle of friends and their "older" behavior. Kids grow up a LOT between 9th and 11th; wow my 11th DD is so different in maturity than when in 9th. Also, next year the guy will be a senior, and soon into that year the pressure is off for getting good grades, while for your 10th grader, these grades matter. So I'm not sure what you should do, OP. Maybe someone here will have good advice (going to look at the replies now). But just wanted to weigh in on it.[/quote]
