It all begins at home with promoting self respect and self-esteem. My youngest is 16. I lay awake in fear she will run into someone just like I was in high school.

One night I realized that everything I had told her, and how I had helped raise her to be independent and have respect for herself had sunk in. I got a call about 10:30 from her needing me to come pick her up. Evidentially, the young man she had been with wanted a little more than just a movie. She knocked two of his teeth loose and walked out of the theater. That's where I picked her up.

Congratulations on raising a fine daughter. I won’t ask where you buried the young man’s body.

My oldest is almost 3. She’ll be a blackbelt by 7. Daddy’s an instructor, and sees huge potential (her snapkick is better than many colorbelts already).

Yet, I hope she never encounters a situation like you described, nor, as you said, runs into someone like I was.

What a gal....You must be a beaming dad...

No girl will ever get more respect than she demands.
