When a sleezy girl keeps calling and constantly trying to pursue my 14 year old son, after I have made it clear that there is to be NO CONTACT? This girl is now calling in the middle of the night and hanging up when I or my sister answer the phone. I called the phone company today and found out that it is definitely her and I don't know how to stop this. Her mother isn't much of a mother and doesn't do the proper parenting that needs to be done with her, so I know talking to her will not do any good.

My son is 1 year younger than she is, and now that my son is starting High School and is a football player (and she a cheerleader) she is trying to get him to "date" her. I have told my son he will not date until he is 16, but this girl is relentless. She changes boyfriends more than I change my underwear and I'm so afraid that she will get him in trouble, if you know what I mean.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. He is my only child and I'm trying to raise him right. frustrated

lol!

oh my gosh, no offence...but your son will date like it or not before he is 16!!!!...if i were you i'd get used to the idea. let him go on the date....if she's for him....great....he'll decide for himself...he won't thank you for holding him back!....

let them make their own mistakes!....

puberty is hitting.....their hormones will be all over the place. the phonecalls will soon cease....and things will go back to normal..

just give your son the curfew....

trust him!....

just my view.....

up to you in the end....but if you're too overprotective....things will go drastically wrong!...

best of luck!

Well i am too young but why you don't leave your son to date the girl? She might be a nice and goodhearted girl after all...

Also speak to him...Explain to him why you have the opinion you have...With my parents we were like friends...They were always explaining to me why they believed i should do this and that...

If he likes this girl he will see her behind your back. Any parently disaproval only make this girl more intresting and aluring.In vite her over if he likes her and give her a chance. The problem with teenages the more you say you don't like some one the more they find reasons to like them. Its all about them becoming adults and finding them selves and making choices.

Raising teenages is not so much putting on controls but teaching them to use their judgement and all the values you had shown them when they were children. Prehaps thats why this girl is drawn to your son because of his values have you asked him perhaps she is reaching out to the only god person she knows.

hmmmmmmm

that's different about the gal!.....

tell him to show interest in another girl....if you "allow" him.

and you're right....he shouldn't be making babies at his age....but he should be made very aware of all the diseases and contraception out there....

maybe sit down with him again....and i did mention a curfew for him...

its good to talk.

i think you should do this and see what he thinks about this girl...

and its not being overprotective to want to know where your son is and who he hangs out with...but the dating thing till 16, that ain't gonna happen!....

you're a good mum....i can see this...if it were your daughter and the tables were changed....then i would be more cautious....

maybe its just me!...

Mother do you think they will drop the bomb?

Hush now baby don't you cry momma won't let anyone dirty get through she will put all her fears into you and make all your nightmares come true..

They are kids teenagers and controlling their instincts is going to cause some hardship on you.

Yes we do...and I'm very protective of my friends and loved ones. I was raised to be a good person and would give the shirt off my back to someone that needed it worse than I do. I was also taught that love is something to be cherished and protected.

I know, me too. I'm always standing up for the "underdog" and I think it hurts me the most when I can't make things better for them and for those I love. I'm a protector by nature and will stand up for those that can't or won't stand up for themselves.

Good idea...maybe I will talk to his best buddy and see if there is a good girl out there for him. I'm just worrying myself sick over this because I don't want him to ruin his future.

Currently I am raising 3 teenagers. Two boys and one girl. I would talk to your son ans see how he feels. If he is interested in her then give her a chance. I dont let my children run the streets or make decisions on their own. They are too young to be parents etc.etc.; however, I know if you set the boundries on a no your to young attitude he will resent that and when a situation arrises for him to rebell he will. I would show him his feelings matter but set boundries and explain to him why the boundries are in play. He will respect you more, by seeing that you respect him. Trust that you have raised him right and make sure he knows about protection. Even though we dont want things to happen, if its what they want they will make sure it happens. If we as parents close the door to communication by setting too strict of guidelines without showing we care about what our kids want, they will rebell more in a negative way just to spite you. It isnt easy................. my three sure push the limits at times.
sigh cheers Good luck.

next time she calls and hangs up, call her back and let her know you will be calling the police and have her charged with phone harrassment! That might scare her into stopping.

Your son sounds like he really cares about you and doesn't want to hurt you. It is obvious this girl is obsessed with him.

Follow up with your actions...if she does call and you tell her to quit or you are calling the police...then you have to. It will stop. I am sure at that point her parents will have to do something about it. It is against the law to harrass people...even by phone.
