My daughter is 15 and she thinks she is in love. She has known the boy since she was 7 and they are best friends. She is very confused on how to feel and so am I. She is a good girl, very religious and straight A's. Is this puppy love or something else? How do I deal with it? Is it normal for her to feel this way?
Let her love him and let it run it's course, whatever that may be. She's a good girl, you said it yourself and I would surmise that he's also a good person, if she's known him that long?
Life gives different people different lessons and we have to learn them by ourselves, having our friends and family to help us if needed. Let her be, she sounds sensible to me.
You can't really determine or define what love is for someone else. Just bc it might not be real to you doesn't mean it's not real for her.
Only she can know if it's possible. My grandparents met at 6,dated by 17, and had a life long marriage. Be there for her with your own occasional advice to prevent her from being hurt, but let her experience life for herself. If not love, it's something she can very well grow from.
Be careful Mom, you may end up pushing her even closer to this boy. We all know ( as adults now, anyways ) that love at 15, isn't the same as love in your 20's, 30's, or even 40's, and so on. Kids have to figure this out for themselves. Yes, she will probably end up getting hurt, but didn't you? I did, and I am sure many others did as well. The point I am trying to make is this, she is young, she is a teenager, she "thinks" she knows everything, so just be there for her when it all falls apart. Be her shoulder to cry on and her confidant. Educate her as much as you can about sex, diseases, and your experiences with "love". It's all you can do right now!
Don't get too involved or she will start to stray away from you. As long as she is well educated about sex there is nothing wrong with the picture.
I'm 19 and have been dating my fiance since I was 15. We have known eachother for 8 years. Were getting married in about 40 days. Let it take it's course
Don't interfere with it and let her show you that it is love, true love.
I think it puppy love. You can ask your daughter what she thinks about him.
my parents never got involved in my lovelife i had my 1st bf at 13. just make sure she knows about contraception and thats it if you dont let her find stuff like this out for herself you will mess her up just give her advice be supportive and if she brings home a right dick head chase him away.
