I pretend I don't care.....I don't care to a certain degree, but there is a point when I wish I was alllowed to be a big sister. My daughter has facebook, I want her to know her aunties, and I do tell her to say hello on occasions. But she's a slow typer and gets upset when she can't type quick enough. She's been staying up til 1 am with me....I know it's a little irresponsible, but she starts senior school next monday and I wanted some time, before she turns into the moody bitch.
She see's the status's and things that get said, I tend to not come and read, but she will start to tell me whats happening. It's only natural like me, she gets upset at things going on. But for me I find it hard not to say anything, when a 13 year old wants a tattoo and is allowed one if she knuckles down at school....that's just so fucking wrong to me. She is really gorgeous, believe me, I feel so proud that she is stunning, but she thinks she is mature...The 19 yr old she is with....I hear things from people I know, and she is heading for a mega heartbreak. The tattoo though...I feel sad that she can't find it in herself to not follow the crowd and be her own person. To do the opposite to what she thinks is right and great for attention...because bottom line is, she is the attention seeker.
She's the product of her environment......I know my daughter won't be like this, as she gets my time and attention, we laugh a lot. I feel sad my 13 yr old sister sadly did not get this. I feel partly to blame.
I wish I didn't care.

It is difficult to do at that age, aceptance is important.
Just put your foot down, tell her when she's 18 you'll fetched a tattoo but only if she's designed it...
There's not much else you can do, and... There comes a point where you have to let them make a few mistakes so they can learn from them.
