My 14 year old daughter is dating a boy who is 17 (will be 18 in December)...I don't approve of the relationship. I think he's too old for her, and I believe he's pressuring her to have sex with him. They've only been dating for about 2 weeks and she's a virgin. I've done everything I can think of to talk her out of seeing him. I've talked to her about the possible repercussions of sex. I've made birth control available to her. She says she hasn't slept with him yet, but I suspect that she's not telling me the truth. My mom says that if all else fails, I should threaten to press statutory rape charges to keep them apart. I don't want to have to do that, but I also don't want to see her end up pregnant at the age of 14. I think he's using her. He has a history of dating girls this young, and the "relationships" are short-lived. I just don't want my daughter's life to be messed up. She thinks he's great because he's older, on the football team, drives...what should I do?
