How do I help my 13yr old step daughter to value herself?

Question

We caught her having multiple communications via text and face book-AIM that were sexually charged with several different boys at the same time. When we confronted her and told her we love her and don't want to see her get hurt , & to please make better choices and value herself, then pointed out the good stuff. within minutes of are loving conversation she was back on line doing the very same thing. Is this addiction? She lives with her mom most of the time out of town and her mom is a sociopath. How can I possible help if she was soooo unaffected by our love, concern, nonjudgement,& understanding & we hardly have time together?

Answer 1

these convos probably wernt even that bad.. what did they say exactly?

and i can tell you right now all she wants is for you to fukc off.

sorry but its true.

Answer 2

tell her what you think and explan she sounds like a prostitute

Answer 3

she is building relationships on the internet because she is not getting the quality realtionships she needs from her family and friends. She probably is addicted, but will only rebel if you try and stop her.

Answer 4

ask her mam to let her spend more time with you and start a bond.

i'm sure if she has a friendship between you and her she'll forget about the boys from online.

the boys probably make her feel loved unlike how she feels with you or her mom.

talk to her and ask does she want to spend some time with you.

your lucky its only online and not in reality,thats when the trouble would start.

Answer 5

You are probably going to have a bit of trouble considering that she is already so sexually motivated and she isn't really around. You could try asking her mother about it and seeing if she knows. On the other hand she might help motivate it. A book that was very helpful to me when I was a teenager was Wait for Me by Rebecca St. James. Sorry that I can't be of more help...good luck!

Answer 6

she justs probably wants to do her own thing. i am like that too. but im 14. and i dont really like my parents around me right now. and she probably doesnt either.

Answer 7

good thing shes only typing it and not doing it.

Answer 8

The internet is such a dangerous place
