and continues to ask her out though she's not interested.
When a girl says no, she means no. That’s the message one mom is sending to a teenage boy who is romantically pursuing her daughter despite the fact that the young girl has rebuffed him multiple times.
YouTube blogger and sexual educator Dr. Lindsey Doe, who blogs under the name “Doe Eyes,” recently posted a video titled “
Dear Boy Who Likes My Daughter
,” speaking directly to the boy (whom she doesn’t name). She said, “Dear boy who likes my daughter. I don’t like how you treat [my daughter.] Are you confused? You probably picked up messages from society about how when you want something, you have to ‘try harder, go at it, do whatever you can to get it. Don’t give up!’ Maybe it’s for this reason that you repeatedly ask my daughter out. In the halls, on the bus, and you write her poems.”
What say you? Is is bad form? Should the school have been informed before she did this? She didn't identify the kid, but like the article says, she's well known and a process of deduction could find him out. As for hurting his feelings, my opinion is he needs to be knocked down a few notches if she's rebuffed him many times and he still keeps coming. But that's just me.
I don't have kids so I'm always curious to know how parents would handle situations like this or just stuff in general. My idea of handling such a situation would probably land me in court if I talked to the parents and there was no resolution. I'm not really subtle when it comes to certain things.
