re: FML, I have a 16 yr old girl, "You can't get into a car, alone, with a boy I don't know"

Our jobs are to be heroes until the change hits, then tyrants. If they can keep their head and their decency until the hormones stop raging, and you teach them well, at some point they have to mature enough for you to set them loose.

They’ll make their own choices at that point whether you like them or not.

All you can do then is be there if they stumble and let them know they’ll always be your little girl and hope for the best.
