Think back 20 or so years to when you were that age... what would have worked for you?

Lol the forbidden... Never tell a girl she CAN"T do it, or she'll find any reason she can to get around your can't and do it behind your back. Sometimes the best thing to do is to suck it up, let her do it, give her 100% support, and be there for her. Set limits to it, but don't forbid it. He's a guy, come on, he's going to screw up eventually and she wont ever want to talk to him again. If she wants to see him bad enough, a few rules about his "habbits" should be acceptable to her. Just make sure she understands the consequences (sp) to the habbits he has, so maybe you will deffer her from doing the same.

Sorry desperate mom but like all 15 year olds she has to learn on her own. You can discuss how you feel about her seeing this boy but the more you knock him the more she's going to find good in him. Best of luck and try and remember when you where 15 also as this sometimes is a good exerise. Best of luck though to both you and your daughter.

Unfortunantly you can't. the more you forbid the relationship the more she'll rebell. You've taught her right and wrong so all you can do is support her decision and keep him close to home,if he's at your house she's at home.Make him part of the family let him know what is expected of him to see your daughter and tell him to run errands and take out the trash it keeps him humble.Let him know you'll kick his *** before you'll kiss it,most respect that.Everyone with bad habits is not a bad person.

Well I am a 15 year old girl and everyone treats me like a XXXX because I wear tight jeans and tops and have my thong sticking out or whatever and talk back. Maybe you are treating your daughter like a XXXX and she is rebelling because I would do the same. Maybe treat her with more dignity and respect.

The bad thing about that is if you forbid her, she'll probably find a way to do it behind your back.
You should just sit down and talk to her about his habits and why you find them bad. Then explain to her that she needs to think hard before she gets involved with someone who could send her on the wrong path in life.
If you haven't raised her to value herself and her morals by now, then it's too late.

you know the old rules when you say no it mean yes and you may need to let her learn but you can also have a very serious talk with her and tell her about the bad habits he have and then leave ti up to her cause you have done your best just be there when and if she need you good luck

If your child has been raised in a home that has set a good example of self honouring habits, she'll see this boy for what he really is. Let her do it in her own time or else she'll make poor decisions out of spite.

It really doesn't matter what you do because if my daughter i would have to tell her no but she would still go behind your back and see him But if you now one of her friends have her friend talk to her and tell her she made a bad choice and she might listen to her friend alot better then to a adult
