She has periods and wears a bra like any girl her age, but is a bit childish. The good thing is she's a sweetheart, has never done anything bad, just small mistakes, treats me, my husband nad her lil bro with love, gets good grades, plays sports. But she's ingenuous, naive, I'm afraid she may be hurt by bad people. She acts like a sweet girl, likes to help people, laughs a lot, is innocent. Somedays ago we were in a shopping center and she get away from to look at some colthes. Then, she suddenly ran to me, gave me a big hug and said My mom! As a mom, of course I love such things, and I hugged her too.
But I'm not sure if this is a normal behavior for a 13 yo girl. She still see boys just as friends and likes to go out with me and her dad. Well, at least she's a very happy girl.
Should I be worried?

i wouldn't worry about it. she may be more family-oriented, but that's not a bad thing. as long as she has friends and has a social life, it's okay.

Ask her mom to get her some counseling. She can go too. 13 is a hard age for anyone, but it sounds like she has alot of stuff going on in her life right now. Her mother needs to show her that she means business though. You can take off text and download features on a phone. That would be my first step. Most counselors will tell you the discipline needs to come from the birth parent. Step parents can be wonderful, but the child usually does see them differently. It's a really fine line. I wouldn't leave, but I wouldn't get married until this gets a little more figured out. Has she always failed classes? When did the failing start? Does it coincide with you being around at all? Not that it's you- but that would be a big change in a kid's life. Time to get down to the true problem- which is not what she's doing, but why she's doing it.

There is nothing wrong with that ! I have a 13 year old boy and believe me his little girlfriends and the girls that are after him are a bunch of little hoochies. They are teaching the boys what to do now a days. You're lucky to have a sweet, innocent young girl, but make sure you always talk to her about bad people and how they can take advantage of her. Show her how not everyone is trustworthy !! Good Luck

You should be worried that you have the blanket pulled over your eyes!!! 13 yr olds are not innocent and you are fooling yourself if you think she is! There is your problem! It's easy for kids to keep the innocent routine going as long as they have willing parents to believe it! You think she is so sweet and innocent and would never to anything to hurt Mommy and Daddy....and she has probably already tried smoking, smoking pot, 1 and or 2nd base with boys, drinking and skipping school. And if she hasn't' yet, she will be soon!!! It's what kids that age do! So take your blinders off, so you can actually SEE what your teen is doing!!! You HAVE to quit thinking of her as your little girl and beware of the terrible teenager about to emerge, if you want to protect and help her!

She is only thirteen years old and I recommend that you enjoy her genuiness and love. I wouldn't be worried in the least. Just make sure that you keep fostering a good foundation, where she will feel loved an comfortable to come to you when things happen...don't close any doors, emotionally, because she is still wanting to display affection toward you. That's nice...keep the doors of communication open....you are blessed, certainly :)

Worried? Not at all ,she sounds very normal to me. Everyone
matures at their own speed. My own daughters 25 & 27 were the
same way. Each has turned into a wonderful, compassionate woman. Both college grads, one in her last year of law school.
You should be proud of her. It isn't long that we get to be a child,
let her enjoy it. As for her being hurt by bad people, it's your responsibility to educate her and protect her. Just enjoy your wonderful daughter.

Nope. I was the same way, and still am sometimes with my famil and I'm 35. She might just be immature emotionally which some girls are. I'm sort of that way still in my way of thinking. I don't like it sometimes because family tends to "walk"on me for it; but I do put my foot down. I'm the youngest of three girls so that tends to get interesting and tense. As she gets older she'll change; and probably suprise everyone in the end =) I did actually LOL

Don't be worried at all. Just make sure she realizes that there are horrible things out there. Don't worry, it's fine, and perfectly normal. In fact, it's a blessing that there are teens that are so kind. You must have done a wonderful job raising her. You should be very proud.

What's wrong with you? Leave the girl alone. You WANT problems with her? Despite what you hear in the media, troubled children are not the norm. That is why we call them troubled! Apparently you did a good job raising her, be satisfied with that. What do you want a mouthy, disrespectful, slovenly, dispassionate teen?
Know when you are blessed and leave well enough alone.
