Hey everyone, looks like K. was using her cell phone.
Let's give her a break and help her. If you do not understand, move on to the next question.
I think a lot of teens that have first loves in HS, do have these questions, is he the one.
As parents we need to guide them with a sensitive truth.
We know their feelings are true and strong, but it is better to take our time finding the only one for us,
If it is meant to be, it will be years before they figure that out. It is exciting to look forward to seeing someone we care about. It is flattering to know someone likes us so much, but there are other experiences that will make us more complete, if we allow our selves to wait.
What we told our daughter is that she has the whole world ahead of her. She can be in love, she can super close friends, but once you commit to one person, you end up as their world and they end up as your world and it can be harder, while so young to get out there, because you are just putting your energy into each other for so long.
We knew this, because my husband and I had known each other since we were 13. We married young ,married now for 30 years, but it has not been a easy journey for us.
We just told our daughter, this is a new time to be a young smart woman, with so many more options than we had. Go out there nd do the things she wants.. And later, she will know for sure, and not have to ask.. Is this the one for me forever.
