Today, my daughter's 14-year-old boyfriend confessed, in front of her, that he only went out with her so he might have a chance to date me. My daughter isn't speaking to me. FML

That's a pretty understandable reaction if you consider how important it is for young teenage girls to feel accepted, wanted, and desirable. So much of our society stresses that girls have no value outside of being desirable partners so a lot of girls are taught that that's what their self worth is based on. It doesn't justify her being mad at you but it does somewhat explain it. It seems like she's reacting out of hurt and lashing out at a person who will accept and love her without any ulterior motive. It often feels "safer" to take out those feelings of hurt on someone you know for sure loves you. Give her room, and then be there to support her when she's cooled off. This is one hell of a bad experience for her. What an awful and inappropriate thing for her boyfriend to say, let alone do.

The song "I want Stacy's mom" comes to mind.

Stacy's mom has got it going on, apparently.

She's probably really self conscious now, and not REALLY mad at you. She's probably very hurt and feeling unattractive, at least compared to you. If that had ever happened to me as a kid, I would have been mortified. She'll get over it, or she'll deal with it in her own way. You're her mom and obviously your body has matured more than hers, which is what young boys are used to seeing in pornos and TV, she will grow into hers and have that guy begging. Good luck.

I think I read this four times to get a grasp on it... Now this could be disturbing if you are her mother sister then maybe not as bad...but either way he chose her and just dumping her for you is cruel and drastic

Teenage girl logic - my boyfriend likes someone else so it's HER fault.
