I am a teenager, and all that is true. We go through so much, for Lynsey you may not want her to see him there isnt a very good way to approach it. I know if my mother confronted me about my boyfriend of a year i would ignore it totally, we have to learn ourselves. We cant be told all the time, if we are we never learn.. But just tell her how you feel, and i pray that she listens to you.
