Teenagers getting Started Early - Page 7

Plaid Pants2 · ‎03-14-2015

There are many, many, MANY parents who focus on their children, set rules and boundaries, curfews, etc, but guess what? A parent cannot handcuff themselves to their kids. It is impossible to be with them 24/7. What are you going to do? Never let your kids go out on dates?

No matter how strict and stringent a parent is, now matter how focused a parent is on their child, as they say, where there is a will, there is a way.

That does not make the parent, a bad parent. It's reality.

Knowing that your child might become active is NOT "accepting", it's being realistic.

Some people apparently feel embarrassed to talk to their kids about the subject but I never did, not even with my son. He and I are psychic twins, though......

Teen birth rate down, abortion also down. That means less pregnancies.

Sure there were always teens doing it and getting pregnant. Usually these teens were not doing it steady like teens of today and had only done it once or twice and then got pregnant because of lack of info. There are fewer pregnancies today because better birth control but there are higher stats of teens having regular se# and many parents just accept it. Of course they are having se# regularly since they are allowed to spend so much alone time with each other which is just a natural progression in relationships where so much time is spent alone with each other. I stand by my statement that many of today's parents don't parent well and are more concerned with their lives. Their teens are allowed to spend free time together alone instead of parents limiting the time a teen can spend with a boyfriend or girlfriend.

Pook, that's all supposition. There has been no data to show that is true.

It's like spitting in the wind, Noel.

I saw your prior exchange with YOMP. I don't understand why it disappeared...or maybe I do.

~Enough is enough~

Thank you, @mstyrion 1

I think we both know why. It upset me that the data was taken down at first, but then it was put back up. I'm glad of that, it really bothers me when data without any rudeness is taken down just because someone doesn't like the evidence.

I don't know what you are referring to, the only deleted post I know of is the one I made while ago.....hey if teen pregnancy is down that's a good thing. I have no issue with that whatsoever.

Happy to say neither of my kids has "done it," ages 21 and 18. WHOOP!

Eww....never, ever...in a million, billion, gazillion years, 500 marriages & 3,000 kids later (!), would I ever tell my Mom I 'did it'. I might be the 'Samatha'/ 'Carrie' of my friends, but that's classified, 'in the vault' information when it comes to my mother. Eww.

I don't know of anyone who ever told their mother if and when they "did it".

Definitely need to be realistic.

If kids are asked about their sexual relations, they might say 'no' (making them appear celibate) even if they are performing non-sexual intercourse acts. For many kids, performing oral and/or 'annual' sex, i.e. acts not resulting in pregnancies, is not considered being sexually active.

The definition definitely has changed over the years.

I wouldn't have told my mother such a thing, either, but she was a prude. I remember when I was little, there was a show on TV and they mentioned "ovaries."

I asked her what that was and she said, "I'll tell you later."

Needless to say, she never did!

I don't think she knew enough about sex to tell anybody anything, but then she always acted like it was nasty.

ETA: we talk about stuff.

My daughter has this one particular friend who wears a "purity" ring, while she is having annull sex with her BF...........yuk.
