<p>wow… what your daughter is thinking and feeling is completely normal for someone her age. Ethical behavior, forgiving behavior, is not inborn. We learn these ways of thinking and behaving from parents, clergy, counselors, etc. It does not usually come naturally. “An Eye for an Eye” is an ancient and powerful concept that we must learn to move beyond.</p>
<p>Help your daughter learn that her choice is <em>not</em> to force herself to keep quiet… her choice rather is to embrace forgiveness and generosity.</p>
