Yeah. What do you do with them? Thankfully most don't end in murder but a lot of young girls today seem confused. I guess I was probably confused myself at 14. Do you ban dating until 16 and risk they will do it behind your back or do you allow supervised dating at 14? Age limits on the guys? I only had boys and they weren't allowed on unsupervised dates until they were 16. They seemed ok with this but the girl friends would complain to me and call us old fashioned and unfair :')

I think back when my children were in there teens and know that I had more control of my children then parents do now and of course they had the morale teaching of the church we attend since they were very young.

I was a stay at home mom and knew where they were most of the time. I say most of the time because I have heard, since they have become adults, a few events that happened that I knew nothing about.

Now the government ties their hands as far a discipline goes and neither parent is around after school to monitor their actions. Many are left unsupervised to the likes of MTV programs that push an anything goes type of attitude.

I truly pity parents today and Thank God my children are grown up.
