Re: My suspicions are confirmed and I’m very worried.

Hi @Dj1234

I am really feeling for what you are going through right now.  While I have not experienced my daughter sending pics she has still made some really bad choices in a sexual context and she was only 14.  I don't think the teenage brain has any idea about the consequences of their actions.  They are so caught up in the moment.  My daughters risky and impulsive behavior scares me immensely. Its hard to bring it up as a conversation and work through and discuss the implications.  I grieve, I'm disappointed and feel the shift of innocence in my child.  It hurts.
