There were 3 girls in my daughter's Yr 7 class who decided to up-the-ante with seducing boys, wearing short skirts and heavy make-up. They made a pact with each other to be pregnant in Yr 8 (fortunately a pact that they didn't fulfil!) I spoke to the mother of the ringleader and she was despairing with no authority to define rules for her child in her own house. I couldn't quite work out how she arrived at a place in her parenting that her child defined the rules and she and her partner just gave up. She did look very tired and this young girl was a very forceful personality. This group of girls attempted to drag my daughter into it as well. I had many conversations with my daughter about this situation and finally showed her the UK show 'Ladette to Lady' just so she could get an eyeful of what different sorts of behaviour looks like to the outsider... and it worked. 7 years later and my daughter often has conversations with her current friends about what self-respecting behaviour looks like (not that she calls it that!)<br />Anne Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02303844404007103306noreply@blogger.com
