dd is 14 next month. She tried a cigarette at the weekend when she was with her 13 year old friend whose parents allow her to smoke as they feel it is her choice whether she does or not.
I have spoken to dd about this and agree to an extent with her friend's parents. If she is going to do it, there's not much I can do to stop her. I would hope that having given her facts etc she will make an informed choice. Obviously i would hate it if she did and wouldn't want her to. I am torn between letting her make her own choice/mistakes and coming down hard on her on this one.
How would you handle this if it was you?
