[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]She's 14 and he's 16? Why is he too old? That's a perfectly respectable age difference in HS[/b]. You can't control this - either insist she come straight home after school and can't go anywhere without you or another trusted adult of your choosing or don't. [/quote]

I disagree. Are junior boys normally dating freshman? No. [/quote]
Agree. He can't engage a girl his own age?[/quote]
OP has already said this is her freshman DD taking to a sophomore boy. This is a not infrequent occurrence. [/quote]
But why isn’t he interested in someone his own age? He’s in a completely different place in life than her. He can drive, make money working a real job. (I know 14yo can work, but you know what I mean. Good luck finding someone to hire them.) The age difference isn’t big on paper, but it’s astronomical in terms of maturity. It’s interesting and worth noting that he can’t pull someone his own age. [/quote]
There is very little difference maturity wise between a freshman girl and a sophomore boy. You are making a mountain out of a molehill. [/quote]
A 14 year old girl isn't getting constant boners and thinking about sex/viewing porn like teenage boys do. Stop using the old "fast girls" trope to justify your denial of reality.[/quote]
