I have twin 15 year old daughters.. who are both pregnant.. by the same kid. Ask a failed father anything.

What does a typical high school girl dress like? Because that has changed quite a bit and its become a lot more liberal in recent years in what is acceptable for a girls to wear. Yoga pants are not something I would want my daughter wearing to school, that has nothing to do with comfort and everything to do with showing off their butt. That's just an example though.

Do they have access to money and go out with their friends a lot? Do they go to church? What is your and your wife's relationship with them like? Does it seem like they share their inner thoughts with you and her? Or do they kind of reserve themselves, I understand they are at that age where they don't really wanna talk with their parents much.

How liberal are you with their entertainment? Like do they have computers of their own, smart phones at a young age? Snap chat is pretty infamous for lewd pictures and such.

Everybody is different but in my opinion, I wouldn't let me children have instagrams, snapchats, social media ect, smart phones till they were older. Perhaps that might make them wanna latch onto those things more because I would be repressing it in their eyes but at the end of the day at least I could say I didn't contribute. Not saying you did, or you are a bad father. I know you must feel that way though. This is why I am very hesitant to have children at all, especially a daughter. Because it's almost impossible to raise them in this world now without media and other influences pushing them in negative directions in life.
