My daughter will be 7 in about two weeks so hopefully I have a while to really "worry" about it.

I hope that by the time she's 14 that her mother and I will have done a good job of raising her. I hope that she has a good self-image and a healthy respect for herself. Then I won't have to worry about her going out on dates with teenage boys.

If we have NOT done a good job of raising her, then by the time she's 14 it won't matter anymore. We can "forbid" her from going out and try to "lock her up" all we want but it will only cause her to hate us and it will make her life miserable.

If so many fathers are worried about some guy taking advantage of their daughters then I have to wonder: did YOU take advantage of a teen-age girl when you were young? I mean REALLY?
