DD and boys...

DD14 is a high school freshman and one of the youngest in her class. She is a beautiful girl, good student and on the soccer team. She has had a boyfriend for the last 15 months and he is a sophmore at a different HS in the next town over (about 15 miles away). DH and I don't care too much for the BF- he is pretty aimless, doesn't make good grades or have any goals. He doesn't play sports (which isn't a big deal, except DD lives for soccer and track), doesn't do any extracurriculars and is just pretty much a slacker. Since school started last month DD has made a lot of new friends, male and female. At our urging she goes out with groups of boys and girls from her school to school events like football games, boys' soccer games, to the movies, etc. A couple boys have asked her out but she has begged off, telling them she has a boyfriend. Her BF is very jealous and last weekend he called her and broke the relationship off. She was heartbroken and we hated to see her so hurt, but DH and I both felt it was for the best. This BF is quite manipulative and has hurt her many times- we were happy to think that this relationship might be over. He called her the next evening, begging to be taken back and DD told he she needed time to think. She now tells us she is planning to take him back (UGH!).

During this weeklong "break" three of DD's newer male friends revealed to her that they have romantic feelings for her. She was beginning to have feelings for one of them, "R", and he is a truly wonderful kid (straight A's, captain of the soccer team, class president, active in his church youth group, has a parttime job). DD claims she is getting back together with BF, but tonight she is going to R's soccer game to see him get an award. She will be wearing one of his team jerseys, sitting with his parents and going to a reception after the game as his date.

I would love to see DD just stay single and hang out with groups of friends, or if she has to "date" one boy I wish it was R, the one she was going out to see tonight. I feel like she is stringing this kid along and will go back to her slacker/loser boyfriend and really hurt this very nice boy. I wish I understood the hold the BF has over her and see what she sees in him. Even her girlfriends don't get it and wish she would move on. DH claims that she will come to her senses and dump him eventually, but I'm not sure how much longer I can stand this kid hanging around.

Anyone know of a good convent school???
