Hi all, we have a dilemma. My daughter, year 10, age 14, (youngest in her year, August baby )met a boy of 16 ( friend of a friend of hers )when the group went bowling a few weeks ago . They now want to meet up together for a walk and chat , around the area we live in. Date is set, a couple of weeks time, for a couple of hours . They are going to have a hot chocolate and walk and chat very near to where we live . My daughter is fairly naive and has no experience of relationships with boys, and at present has no friends as such who are boys that she would see socially. We know very little about the boy, he goes to a different school, different area. Do you think we are crazy to let her go ? Happy if it stays friendly, but what if she falls for him ? Big difference in age at that age ! I'm quite worried, but at the same time want her to socialise with boys and have fun, and relationships. All part of growing up. Anyone any advice or experience with this please? All we know is his name , the area he lives, school he goes to, what his interests are.

I've had the exact same dilemma. My 14 year old daughter is in year 10, almost 15. She started seeing a boy when she was 13 and he was 14 ready to turn 15. They were together for almost 18 months. He's 16, 17 in July. He's her boxing coaches son and they went to the same school.

Unfortunately I've just found out that they've been intimate on and off for a while, even now, when their not together. I had open discussions with her, she's had lots of opportunities to tell me, but no, her twin sister told me instead. This was her first boyfriend so be aware. I feel very naive.
