It's scary, man. My daughter has a great relationship with my wife and tells her what's going on in school. The amount of sex going on is insane compared to when I was in HS 25 years ago.

I have a fair amount of trust in my daughter. She quit hanging out with her best friend because her friend started having sex and she dumped her last boyfriend because he brought up sex to her. The problem is girls that age are a mess, no matter how well they were raised, and think they really love these little boys. And nobody is as persistent as a teenage boy trying to get his first taste.

Do I trust my daughter? Yeah, mostly. Do I trust her to resist a constant onslaught of peer pressure and little boys telling her whatever she wants to hear? I don't know. But I do know a baby would be a disaster for her so I'm ?not going to risk it. The world is full of teen moms with parents who thought their little angel was impervious to sexual pressure.

I was put on BC at 14-15 for medical reasons. My dad wasn't happy about it at all and told me that it didn't mean I was given permission by him and my mom to have sex.


But....since I was a typical horny teenager with a steady boyfriend at the time.....of course I had sex. Like my parents were gonna tell me what to do.

So just remember how some of you were at that age. You can preach you your kids all you want....if they really want to they will sneak and have sex behind your back. And....I was considered a good kid. Never got in trouble at school, never drank or did drugs, got good grades, honor roll, all that jazz. But I was young and naive and thought I was "in love" with my first serious boyfriend.

At least my parents never had to deal with their daughter getting knocked up as a teenager.

Sure and we discuss that with her.

She's not "going to do it anyway" at 15 if she was raised with some class and dignity.



this. it is about expectation setting. my girls will clearly understand all consequences of being sexually active as a teenager. if they still want to do that, they can go live with their boy friend's parent's house.

ETA: to be honest, while I would be disappointed if my girls became pregnant, I would be happy to offer another family a baby for adoption.

again, setting expectations, secret or no secret, they will clearly be informed of the consequences. I can't live their life for them, all I can do is offer my way versus their way.

ETA:
my way: financially taken care of, loving home in nice neighborhood, private air travel
their way: well, it's whatever they want, if Bill Gate's heir knocks them up, more power to ya

I fully believe that deep down that's all some parents really want. To not know about it.

I had 2 serious boyfriends in HS(one of which I dated until I was 27). Only had sex with those 2 as a teen. Not sure that qualifies as "throwing the poon" as you so eloquently described.

What about the mental aspect on a kid? Do teenagers get more emotionally attached to their SOs after sex? I mean is banging their BF gonna make them more or less depressed/"suicidal" when the inevitable break up happens? If so, I'd think that would be a consideration in this debate.


sorry if its a stupid question, but I dont have kids.

In the early stages, yes.....I get your point.

Now, with the Range Rovers, Escalades, X5s, etc. along with some nice homes and MTV fame, I'm not so sure.

did you get emotionally attached after you knocked boots for the first time? obviously I think its more extreme for girls (the attachment) but im sure most would say there was some level of attachment with the girl/guy you lost your virginity too.

they'll probably think you are full of shite and go frick their boyfriend because of peer pressure.


If they think like this then it's a good thing they were started on protective measures.

And you're completely wrong to think that telling them to not have sex is sufficient birth control for the vast majority of people


Are teen pregnancy rates higher now vs 1960-1980? I'll hang up and listen.
