Well, you could be describing my dd, who's 17 and has never had a boyfriend, hates parties/alcohol/make up, goes to bed at a reasonable time and is generally too sensible for words! However, she has a group of like-minded friends and I'm quite happy not to have to worry about where she is, who she's with or what she's drinking/smoking. Her brother, who's nearly 14, is a different kettle of fish entirely and it's great to have some respite with dd! I second those who say accept her for who she is and breathe a sigh of relief. Sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear...

What's wrong with her being conservative? She'll relax in her own time I'm sure as she gains life experience. At least you aren't having the worries that some ladies are posting about on here about their daughters-enjoy it! I was 'conservative' and proud of it until I was 21 and went to work in the US for the summer when I relaxed a bit more... Over the years I've done my fair share of drinking etc but I still at the age of 31 regard myself as fairly 'conservative' and I'm still proud of it. Society's moral decline is hard to resist for many young people; be glad your DD knows who she is and isn't easily influenced!
Some of the book suggestions on here are fabulous though-great reading experiences regardless! :)
