I Believe Parenting Is The Hardest Job Anyone Could Ever Have

My daughter is 15, looks 25, and already has the kind of figure that turns heads everywhere she goes. I've tried so many times to get through to her about all the dangers and predators out there for a young girl like herself but all I get are rolling eyes, huffing and puffing and a general attitude of 'whatever'.
I have banged my head against the wall more times over her in the last 2 years than in the previous 13 years combined.

Hope I'm not stepping on any toes. Hmm Well there's nothing you can do about her body. Are you warning her or trying to instill a fear into her? are you approaching her and explaining to it to her in a calm manner?

I think I've mostly tried to just tell her like it is.

@daydreams hmm sometimes being straight forward isn't the best approach. She's clearly not worried, so I think it would ease your worry if you introduced her to a form of self-defense, it can be a fun and it's a form of exercise, if she's into that. Don't mention that it's for her safety, because that clearly doesn't go well.
