I have never heard of the word mithered before but I am guessing it means hassled

If she is young and pretty she is bound to get a lot of attention but if you are out as a family then she shouldn't really get hassled. Tell her to make sure she doesn't pay any attention to anything the guys may say to her, no giggling or fluttering eyelashes, just look away and she will be fine. Once they know they wont get away with any bad behaviour she will be treated with respect.

This is a question that pops up quite often ,if you search the forum you will find lots of posts on this subject .Pretty girls attract attention everywhere and it is only common sense how you you handle it .just treat it as you would at home ,dont worry ,enjoy your holiday .There are plenty of teenagers in Turkey most of the time and i am sure your kids will find friends .

She will get the same amount of hassle as she would at home. Just make sure your daughter knows how to deal with hassle and she will be fine. I was out there in June and my blonde friend got the least amount of attention with the Turkish lads saying they don't see they big deal with blondes anymore.

I agree it doesn't make a difference if she is blonde or not.

blonde. brown, red, green or blue! The only requirement I heard of the Turkish guys was they liked slim girls, but don't they all lol

Oh, some of them like big girls too! One of my friends is far from slim but she had plenty of admirers

Well she is definatly slim but also very very shy around boy's at home she just turns the admirer's in to best mate's as she is not ready for dating, I am just hoping she does not find it to overwhelming or her father!!!!!!! (sorry about the word mither it must be a local word)

She will be fine then and she will probably have a lot of new friends by he time she goes home. Hope you all have a great time

I don't think you will have any problems. A girl with her parents will be treated with respect, although they will possibly compliment and tease her. When my daughter was sixteen she thought they were a bit creepy but when she came with us another time when she was 22 (and getting over a bust up with a boyfriend) she loved the attention.

Hi - my daughter is now 15, blonde, v. pretty etc. We went to Side last year, and yes she did get a lot of attention (but then so did my 9 year old blonde daughter ). She was very self conscious, and shy, but it really built up her confidence, and now she can't wait to go back - well 24 hours and she'll be on the plane!

I would warn your daughter not to respond to all of them - espiecally for the first few days! And if you go to a waterpark, watch her!

I know this is slightly off topic, but too small to make a separate thread for! Basically the 15-year-old wants to know if she can take her own teabags out with her . Personally I thought the tea was alright last year, but she clearly didn't!

We take PG tips tea bags wherever we go in the world, can't beat a good brithish cuppa for brekkie!

Thanks for the reply about the teabags. She left hers at home, and didn't have enough money on her to buy some - thankfully I managed to make some decent tea from what was in the hotel.

Hi Shell4noddy
I have a 21 year old daughter & we have been going to Turkey for the last 6 years,Yes the Turkish lads can be a bit of a pain in the a%$e but usually a polite go away does the trick,The Turks are very touchy feely & it can be a bit uncomfortable,I am very over protective of my daughter & i was afraid i might throttle some one out there but all my fear were unfounded,Relax & enjoy your holiday
