Narrative: Dating Scenario 3, Scene 1

Hannah was getting ready for school one morning. Her mom, Janice, came in to check on her. Janice noticed that Hannah was wearing one of her dad’s sweatshirts even though it was going to be a warm day. Hannah also had not put on any makeup yet and her hair was pulled back into a ponytail. Janice confronted Hannah about her appearance and Hannah became defensive, explaining that Trent likes the more natural look, no makeup and stuff.

What should the mom, Janice, do?

Decision A: Janice tells Hannah that she should choose her own style, not change to please anyone else. She needs to be herself.

Decision B: Janice tries to stay out of her daughter's personal business. She keeps her opinions to herself.
