He may have pushed them away but he still allowed it. I think its just wierd she can see in this mans apartment. Where is the parental supervision? I didn't say threaten him, just put a bug in his head. Parents complain and do nothing about it until their daughters are touched or abused and then something is done. I stand by what I say as harsh as it may come across. This is a fifteen year old girl who doesn't know any better. What do you want to hear? It's ok....it'll pass, just let it keep going on like nothing is happening? Yea that'll solve it all. She's too young in my opinion to be touching a grown man. My opinion. |

At this age I don't believe the girls should go up the the boys. In this case, the age difference is another reason, she shouldn't approach him. Saying hi is one thing, and thinking he's hot is just fine. Crushes are great, but she shouldn't be acting on it. Let her know that this is a MAN. I think your daughter my be more interested because he cannot hear. Don't ruin her chrush, just set guidelines about the contact with him, and make sure to watch her and follow up.

Children: 4 yr old goof ball | Re: What should I do about my daughter and her crush? | | I must have grown up around a different type of 15 year old girl. The girls that I knew were well aware of their sexuality and would know damn well what they were doing when flirting with him.
I still think you should just talk to her, and if things continue you might want to right him a FRIENDLY letter with your concerns including him leaving his blinds open.

They all have 19 & 20 year boyfriends, and are very forward. I got very lucky, my daughter is very picking with who she spends time with, and most boys she doesn't give the time of day.

Children: Rebekah (age 3) | Re: What should I do about my daughter and her crush? | | Im a little confused as to the amount of people who find her giving him a note as inappropriate. The guy is deaf, im assuming that the girl in question cannot sign, how else is she supposed to communicate with him? or do we now live in a world where teenage girls speaking to any male has become innapropriate?
I also dont beleive that a 15yr old girl is naive and stupid, at 15 I knew exactly what I was doing in regards to men.

If she was saying 'hello, your dog is so cute' or something that is one thing. but she has a crush on him and these notes are just a way of her trying to make moves and flirt (ie can i touch your 6pk abs). Completely inappropriate - as she knows exactly what she's doing, and it's not acceptable behavior for a 15yr old. |

Children: Jordyn (daughter) | Re: What should I do about my daughter and her crush? | | If he really is that attractive is it inappropriate if I want to pass him a note and ask him if I can touch his 6pk abs?
Sorry couldn't resist.
Okay back on topic...
I would watch her around him and make sure that she doesn't pursue anything. At 15 I knew exactly what I was doing and well I did it.
I might get flamed for this one but does this guy know she's only 15? I didn't always tell my real age but I also didn't lie. If they thought I was 18 I was 18 (depending on how hot they were). Calling the police at this point I think would be wrong. If it goes any further I would have a talk with him. Let him know you are not comfortable with it.
What's the difference with this and 15 yr olds at the mall? Ever watched them? |
