I can try to shelter her as much as I can but ultimately she is going to be confronted with situations like this as well as drugs, smoking, sex etc. I did not forbid her to hang out with this girl because i am a firm believer in god puts people in our lives for a reason. Maybe this little girl needs my daughter, maybe my daughters friendship is what is going to get this girl the help she needs. I too thought about the fact that it may influence my daughter and she might try it, but I dont think that is the case at all.I guess because they are friends at school, they do not go out after school to the movies etc. she doesnt go over her house or anything like that. the rules in my house is that at 12 years old you have no business in the streets alone. so she doesnt have the privileges of hanging out yet. The fact that she came to me shows me that she can be trusted and she knows its wrong. It is such a hard position to be in but I leave it all in gods hand. |
That is such a good way to look at it. Good for you! You, your daughter, and her friend will be in my prayers.
