[QUOTE="DocWatson, post: 85419, member: 112"] At her age, you've already done all you can do. You need to trust in how you raised her and the values you instilled in her. You can't stop anything. Unless you lock them down 24/7 they will find a way to do what they want. Remember when you were young and wanted to do something your folks wouldn't like. You tried to keep them from finding out.... but you did it anyway. :wink: The most important thing is to keep an open mind and an open line of communication. If they know that they can come to you and discuss anything openly without fear of an angry, and often unreasonable, response, you are more likely to have a better idea of what they are up to than if you instill the fear of God and have them sneaking around to do their thing. Also gives you a chance to offer some good advice on things that they are more likely to listen to if they trust you. From the sound of things, you've done a good job and have a very "normal" 13 year old daughter. [/QUOTE]
