I am a father of 18 yr old daughter who has been playing an online game and thru this game she has made friends all over the world.no problem. Lately she has been talking alot online and offline with one particular boy who is 3000 miles away and they talk for hours about nothing and on some days he calls every five minutes. I want her to have relationships but this one is just wrong in the biggest sense, due to the fact that the boy in question is 13 years old. Both her mother and I have tried talking to her but she relentless to say that it is platonic, but that does not keep me from thinking she is headed down the wrong path, what do you think?

It seems a little strange to talk so much to a 13 year old,however he is 3,000 miles away.Is your daughter inmature? maybe the little kid has problems and she is trying to help him.Surely she is not interested romanticly with a 13 year old boy...I don,t think i would worry to much,since hes so far away,maybe she just has a good e-mail pal and she just has made a friend....I don,t think she is doing wrong ,even though it is unsual..I agree she does need to form relationships with people her own age....but if she is a good daughter i wouldnt be to hard on her just yet.

Well 3000 miles away (assuming in the states) and he has no car and cant drive to you... don't see much of a problem personally. 13 and 18 is definately a big gap but I was in the same age range situation when i was 13. Even if by some means they managed to hook up her friends would most likely do the dirty work for you and they'd split up. As long as no phone bills are being racked up and you're sure the guy is 13 and not 31 I'd just let it go. No need in turning a campfire into a brushfire.

Try reversing the roles, when she was 13, was she talking to 18 year old guys? See if you can get her to look at the situation in a different manner. Hopefully its not a sexual type friendship/relationship, but you have to eithr trust your daughter on that aspect, or monitor her online time more closely, especially if she is living in your house. Good Luck.

She should be okay...you better make sure this boy is 13 to begin with. Have you heard his voice? If he is that young, it should be okay, as long as your daughter isn't a pedophile. I used to talk to people on the internet all the time when I was younger but I never did anything dumb. Plus, your daughter is legally an adult so she takes all responsibility for her actions.

I think it's okay for her and the boy. That shocked me off knowing that she is into a 13 year old boy. Just be up to date with your daughter. That's even better than our daughter hacing an affair with an older one. It'll be more dangerous.

its natural for you to worry about ur kids... but let her do watever... u have a wife so u shud know this... when u tell a woman NOT to do summin, she'll do it more... damn women are hard headed... leave her alone.. 13 y/o kid is wayyyy too immature for an 18 y/o girl... she'll get over it soon...
+ if you think about it, its probably better that she has an online relattionship with a kid dat she will probably never meet, as opposed to going out every night and having sex with different guys...

Investigate the reasons she feelings the way she does about this young fellow. You may even want to let her talk to a police office or look online about the consequences of adult and minor relationships. This might help change her feelings.

You are right. She should meet people in the real world not online. Furthermore, this 13 yr old boy might not be what he says he is......he might be 30 and above .

in my opinion i think its just a momentary thing giving the fact that he is younger and far far away so don't worry so much if anything once she meets him if ever in person things may change as soon as she sees how young he really is so just let her be

I think it will fizzle out on it's own.
