I have to say a 9th grader(D14) going to the prom with a senior, worries me a little. D14 says she is just good friends with this boy, and that he is very childlike/innocent..but the age/experience difference and the prom environment itself..worry me some.
Being a mom of a 16-year old. I can relate. The boy may be nice and innocent but he has hormones as any other 17-year old. She is only 14 and very impressionable especially by older boys. Mine was. Maybe a good approach would be to meet him and talk to him about how you feel (scare him to death) and also talk to his parents. Anyway that's what I would do first, before deciding.
