DD is 16 and since lockdown has been going out every night after school with a friend. DD and the friend are part of a wider group of lovely girls. The friend DD is meeting up with is the one out of the group who has a bit of a history of smoking weed/had sex quite young etc and I’m just a little uneasy that it’s now just her and DD who are hanging out together. DD says the friend doesn’t smoke weed any more and I haven’t detected any smell of smoke etc on her.
DD also mentioned this week that they had met up with a boy from their school I’ve never heard of (obviously told her that’s not currently allowed) and I just feel uneasy about it.
I just worry that she might be starting to hang out with the wrong sort - she has in the past been drawn to ‘bad boys’. Her usual girl gang is so lovely and I’m sad that she can’t see them at the moment. What would you do? Trust her and leave her to it? Try and encourage her to arrange to meet one of her other friends?
I can’t decide if I’m being too controlling or if I should trust my mum senses!
