My daughter just turned 17 and gosh....you feel so protective, because they begin to have a woman's body, but not the world experience to deal with some of what they might face.

Ugh! Exactly! Not looking forward to the next few years... Oh well. All I can do is try to give her guidance and support as best I can. She's also very bright (National Junior Honor Society, Principal's List every quarter through 8th grade (Catholic High School), and she's a Tae Kwon Do black belt herself :-)

She sounds like a stellar young woman! You must be very proud!

And good for her that she's a black belt! That's awesome. She'll be able to hold her own. My Dad had my sister and me take judo classes for self-protection when we were young teens.

Have to log off; it was chatting with you, FRiend. :) All the best to you and yours! :)
