I wasn't imagining any of the ridiculous things that you suggest but going around with people 8 or 9 years older than you isn't healthy when you're 15, anymore than it would be to be playing with 6 and 7 year olds.
.

please enlighten me as to why my daughter shouldn't be going around with her friends older sisters , i'm intrigued as to what you think they may be getting up to and why this should be considered unhealthy , my daughter spends alot of her time with her best friend and is almost considered as part of the family , i think the most "unhealthy" thing they have got up to over the last month was to have a bbq or go to the cinema .
also when my d isn't doing all the other things that you appear to think that she shouldn't be doing , she helps look after an 8 year old with downs syndrome which according to your thinking she shouldn't be doing either .
she does do all her studying and gets great grades, but she is also studying the university of life , something she ain't gonna get stuck in her bedroom all day and night studying ,
