To think it's worrying that 17 year old DD has no interests other than her boyfriend?

[TheCandidAzureCritic]

DD, 17, has her first boyfriend. They have been together 3 months. He is a nice kid and they get on really well. However she no longer sees her friends, goes to the gym, reads etc. If he has plans in the weekend she sits in her room and does nothing. I have told her I would like to see her showing an interest in other things again but nothing has changed. She has issues with depression and anxiety and has struggled to make friends in the past, so I really don't want to see her lose the ones she has! Does anyone have any thoughts? TIA

Young love can be all consuming but your daughter needs a balance of spending time with her friends, as well as her boyfriend. He clearly makes plans without her, and sees his friends, and she needs to do the same. At the moment the balance she has isn't healthy, and she will find herself isolated. Let's be honest teenage romances rarely last that long, and if they do eventually split, she'll need her friends support. Obviously, you can't say that to her! All you can do is encourage her or if she won't see her friends encourage her to go for a coffee with you, trip to the cinema etc. Anything that will get her out the house.
