Thank you Nucking Futz - that makes me feel better that I made the right decision. I did explain that to her and she tried to say we're just friends and it doesn't mean we're going out. Since she knows Karate I know she can take care of herself. Her Dad would flip if someone told him they saw her at the movies with a boy - it would be irrelevant if they were just buddies. She wanted me to lie to her father that she was just going with a girl. I told her yes you can have guy friends at school but no socializing outside of school. It's just too scary the way you hear about young adolescents having sex at this age. This age scares the hell out of me.

I snuck around when I was 14 with one boy and it never went further than kissing but I regret it now. I just don't think kids this age can make the proper judgments about things like this. This is all kids this age talk about - who's going out with who. So what are the kids going to say if this boy goes to school on Monday and says "I went to the movies with my daughter"?? Thanks again NF I appreciate your help.
