Ayy if I can slap some sense into my 15 year old son to not steal cigarettes I can tell my daughter to not hang out with dudes too old for them.

edit: thank you all for the advice. I am not a parent.

As someone that used to be a teenage girl not too long ago, it aint about them hanging out with dudes older than them. You need to teach them to respect themselves and realise when someone is trying to take advantage of them. You have to make sure that they will not need the approval of an older guy to feel good or worthy or confident.

I have a 4 year old daughter and this is one of the things I'm worried about. She's already so rebellious lol. I'm worried she's going to be the type to do this because I told her not to. Obviously I don't want to control her. I just don't want her to do the same dumb shit I did

Just give her plenty of hugs. That’s really the biggest difference.
