Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
{{[askye}}}
is there any way to convince a 14 yo girl to stay away from a senior boy who has a reputation several miles long known by every school teacher and administrator and most parents of upper class girls? my little sister is smitten. she has been repeatedly told to stay away from him. she's been forced to drop out of the drama class that they share and to drop out of the school musical in which she would have been sharing scenes with him. my father has (ill-advisedly) sent him vaguely worded threatening messages (not of physical violence, but to negatively affect his application to the naval academy.) yesterday a christmas gift from him arrived at the house, and the day before that a teacher separated the two of them canoodling on a sofa in the library at school. clearly parental intervention short of shipping her off to a boarding school is not working. What on earth can a (much older) half-sister on the other side of the country do to try and make her see sense? Reason stands no hope against these hormones. *sigh*

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
It sounds to me like they have created a romeo and Juliette situation. I wonder if it is too late to change the reaction? I don't imagine that it is easy, but maybe instead of enforced separation, limited supervised visitation?
from your end? can you suggest that true love has time -- and only really good behavior ( no canoodling on the library sofa) might convince your folks to change their mind?
Not really sure you can do much

Yeah, keeping them apart like that is probably the worst thing they can do!

...how bad can his reputation (er, possibly other than in re: girls) be, if he's hoping/expecting to get into the Naval Academy? That said, a reminder that her parents can and will prosecute him for statutory might be in order.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My sympathies, askye.

How close are you two?
