[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] There is only so much control you can exert over your child's romantic interactions. Would you let her be friends with a junior, such as someone she knows through athletics, music, debate, or theater? Then you should "let" her date a junior. As someone else said, she still has the same limits as a freshman when it comes to curfew, etc. And general rules like a parent needs to be home, no closed doors (except for a single person in the bathroom, of course), etc. Get to know the other kid, his parents, ask DD about his friends (are they nice to her, are they respectful to girls in general). Emphasize the usual of she should only date someone who is kind to her.[/quote]
