Teen Dating

I've been seeing lately alot about the whole Miley Cyrus dating this 20 year old and correct me if i'm wrong but she is 16 right? Don't let the bright lights and television fool you she's 16. I have a problem with their relationship as a parent. I wouldn't and don't want my daughter looking at anyone older than 15 and my main reason is because of the differences in interest!

Granted, Miley could have a very good head on her shoulders and could be one who has the will power of a nun but on the other hand she could not .. why do her parents feel that their union is OK? I was 16 once and I dated older but I didn't know any better, all I knew was what my body was telling me I didn't have much guidance by way of my parents, they were there but my mom was anti talk about sex and my dad just didn't bother for whatever reason. So I was left to make those decisions on my own. As a parent now and seeing what a mistake I made I feel some kinda way about this. I had my daughter when I was fresh out of HS I didn't have a life until I got older and there was a lot that I regret about that whole situation but my daughter is not one of them! I just feel as a parent we should at least explain to our children what it is they are getting into, what they do with that information is on them but we did our part. I would have a HUGE problem with my daughter seeing a 20 year old .. especially if I know about it.

Now if I don't know .. hell what can I do, but Miley's shit is public dude is all in the press now and I just get sickened by the whole ok Miley sure you can go out with a 20 year old situation. At 20 I think that a man has different agendas and interests than a 16 year old would. Granted at 16 a young lady is physically ready and fully capable of having sex. But that doesn't mean I want to cosign the damn deal .. I just can't get over this .. I am realistic as well and realize that a lot of shit like this might happen unbeknownst to me .. this is life. However, like I said, if I can talk her into keeping her legs closed or at least sharing that moment with someone her age I will talk blue in the face at least I did my part as a caring parent!

Another thing that kills me is the fact that her family and television make her out to be so innocent .. yet she's posing on line and in private like this:

This does not look so innocent to me but i'm just saying!

Another issue I have is this new thing with the teen dating abuse .. wtf? Young in love and getting hit or beat up by some dude? I don't get it .. now everyone made a big deal of the Rihanna situation but that's not the first time I heard this but it's really sad that teenagers get into this kind situation when they have so much more to look forward to. Now i've never been in this type of situation but I can guarantee that as a teenager it wouldn't go down like that .. I was a nut kicking/hitting fool, I doubt it would occur often if at all after a few of those!

Speak on it!
