Why do parents have to be so over protective over their daughters. Some are kool, mine arent.Why?
Hon, parents shouldn’t be “kool” about their children. We are responsible for making sure that our kids are safe, happy, and making good decisions about their lives. It just kills a parent inside when they see their child living with consequences of really bad decisions. Your parents have seen friends from their pasts suffering through the trials of their youths.

It is hard for parents to let go. Some do it better or worse than your parents do. Part of being a teenager is thinking you can take on the world and not get hurt, and that somehow all the dark and dreary things that happen won’t happen to you, but they can, and your parents know it.
