Kids (my daughter!) eat much too much carbohydrate and not enough protein. They try to control their weight with low fat things which doesn't help.
I suppose I'm lucky with our daughter (in some ways). She's had a bf, sex and all, for a year and at least is now over 16. He *seems* like a nice enough kid. The only problem is her schoolwork. I know for sure that there is almost nothing I could have done to help prevent bad stuff. I'm curious as to whether you live in a small town kind of place or a city. Now I can understand why you were 'speechless'(I think) about my post about our hometown and the boys here. It is one of the highlights of my life with my daughter when she said with a shrug of the local alpha males 'yeah, they just get girlfriends in for the winter' (and that they piss them off when summer comes). When she said that a frission of admiration went around the table and we all of us looked at her in a new way. (She does Hapkido, some sort of martial art, and I think the current bf was an instructor there.)
If I were in your position I wouldn't be of much use and am not in my position either. It's hard to be a parent when you can't help. I'd be worried if I were you, too.
