Question by JohnD: Poll for teenage girls: what do you look for in a boyfriend?
My son (seventh grade) has recently started a “dating”-type relationship with a girl at school. This is after a one-year relationship ended a few months ago. The two of them aren’t going much beyond talking on the phone and/or texting until all hours at this point, but today is their first “date” type outing – the young lady’s father is taking her to the zoo, and she invited him along.
I have conveyed my values and expectations to him, and given him my own insights into what I believe women want from a boyfriend. However, I concede that I am a bit old-fashioned and perhaps not as attuned to the relationship dynamics involved today. For example, even when I was dating his mother, texting wasn’t as prevalent … but his mom still enjoyed the quick “hey, I was just thinking about you” voice mail on her phone.
I believe certain things never go out of style … holding the door for her, being respectful, using “sir” and “ma’am” to address her parents, etc. However, I also acknowledge that some things have changed.
So … for the teenage girls out there: what do you expect from a boy you’re in a relationship with?
And … parents of teenage girls: what do you expect from a boy your daughter has a relationship with?

Question posed by : Are there any parents of teenagers out there?
My oldest daughter recently turned 13 and well – I don’t know how to handle it anymore. She is always in a mood, either angry or crying about the most insignificant things. I’ve tried to be patient – but at the moment my home has turned into a war. She is setting a bad example for her two younger siblings. Is this even normal? What’s going on with her and how can I change/help her?
Chosen answer:
Answer by Wilson SS You have to get her to talk, problems are solved from the source of the problem. You have to find out what is irritating her, making her angry or cry, be patient with her if the situation needs but you’ll have to find out why to help/change her.

A question from : Is this section supposed to be for parents of adolescents or adolescents to discuss parenting?
As most of you probably know, this section of yahoo answers is mostly used by teens to discuss pregnancy and parenting, not parents discussing parenting their teens.
I wonder if the original intent of this section was for questions about parenting adolescents, rather than the other way around.
What do you think?

Question posed by Rick R: Parenting teens question?
My 17 year old daughter says she is grown and doesnt have to abide by her mothers rules. She skips school and her mother cannot legally make our daughter come home according to police. How is the parent still held liable to the school if there is no way to make a 17 year old follow the rules? The mother faces punishment if the daughter misses school. This is in the state of Georgia. Our daughter lives or is supposed to live with her mother.
