    not to be rude but you have no right to say what people are and aren't ready for judging by thier age, age is just a number. just because certain people have been around longer doesn't mean they are more mature it really depends on how they were raised and what they have been through! :)

    yes she can do that, even though you think its wrong and i agree she is just trying to do what is best for you! i have been single for about 6 months now my last boyfriend was 20, my parents didn't like it but they still supported me. (after much debate) just talk to her and if that doesn't work make sure you are doing the right think before you sneek around!

    the problem with parents is, they just don't understand it seems this is a new time teens are doing things that older ppl think are completly wrong i can't tell you how to change your daughter all i can tell you is you ned to try and accept her for who she is and support her as much as you can. think back how have you pushed her away? ignored her? what might you have done to make her rebel. you can't change who she is but you can try to undestand her
