To ask how you would react if your young teen started dating a troubled teen?

How would you feel if your 13/14 year old started going out with someone the same age but had a few issues such as

  • always in trouble at school, frequently excluded
  • bit of a dare devil / risk taker / rule breaker
  • doing all the typical teenage stuff such as drinking / smoking / vaping

But they treated your child exceptionally well and with respect and consideration?

Would you put a stop to the relationship? Would you feel happier meeting the parents? Would you do nothing and just hope your child 'moves on' to a more suitable bf / gf soon?

Some parents really are precious! One day they’ll have a shock when their perfect child ends up pregnant or in trouble with the law.

Bad things can happen to all people - regardless of how they are parented. Feel sorry for some parents on here
