Dec 8, 2016 at 20:16 | comment | added | Tim B | @graham I agree. In many ways this answer gives bad advice. It depends on the other girl's parents but I know quite a few LGBT people and while many of them have lovely accepting parents...some really really don't. You could potentially get the other girl disowned, thrown out of the house, punished, sent off to a camp to be "cured", or in extreme cases physically abused or even killed. | |
Dec 8, 2016 at 15:45 | comment | added | Graham | @PhasedOut The "common ground that both parents care about the well being of their offspring" isn't necessarily true though. If the parents are strict due to religious or cultural beliefs, they may well consider their child's happiness (and indeed their life) to be irrelevant compared to the child complying with that religious/cultural dogma. I'd certainly want to talk to the girl though, to ensure my child was safe. | |
Dec 8, 2016 at 14:41 | comment | added | called2voyage | @PhasedOut I don't necessarily disagree, but not all parents will still demonstrate care for their child's wellbeing when presented with the fact that their child was seeking a homosexual relationship. This can be a delicate situation, and it may be one you ultimately decide is too fragile to risk your daughter getting involved in. There are alternative paths though. If the girls wanted to maintain an online relationship until the younger was independent, for example. All I'm saying is that immediately communicating directly with the parents is not always best. Get to know the girl first | |
Dec 8, 2016 at 14:32 | comment | added | PhasedOut | @called2voyage - Honestly, why the other parents are "strict" is not my concern in this case - I would want to protect my daughter from getting trapped in a foreign country by unknown individuals, and the choices other parents make about their daughter is not a factor to me - I want to know who these parents are and make sure they are aware of the situation, stating with the common ground that both parents care about the well being of their offspring. | |
