Yeah my 20 something oldest who was so good and so open with me, really opened my eyes last summer (when we went on a girls trip) that I was kinda clueless and she still admitted she told me more than most of her friends did to their parents at the time. And I get it. I did the same even though I was a good kid. No is is a straight shooter to their parents and phones add a whole different layer to that. |
Nah! Their cool soccer moms are letting them do it in the backseat of their minivans when they are chauffeuring them around. |
Isn't that age appropriate? Their brains haven't fully matured. There is a reason they can't smoke/drink till age 18/21 depending on the country. |

When I was in HS the rumor was that 2 kids did it on the gym teacher’s desk after school. |
What about that is age appropriate? I wouldn't want my kid to do these things and would be pretty angry if they used the boredom excuse. |
Nope. Immersed in both environments. If that’s a Catholic private school, not the case. Of course, there will be outliers but for the most part the Catholic private school kids are, in fact, more innocent. |
A good 50% of the girls at both Holton and NCS (I had and have multiple girls at one) who will graduate having never gone to a "house party." Then there's about 10% that have been drinking heavily and going to weekend parties since 9th grade. They're known as the popular girls and have no doubt they're doing all sorts of things with boys because they're alone with them and copious amounts of alcohol on many weekends. There are a ton of other girls who never leave their homes or the library on a weekend night for the entire 4 years. Or the craziest outing they have is a dinner out or movie with (female, platonic) friends. |
This is the dumbest comment I’ve read in a long time |
Their brains are not fully myelinated until age 25. They make dumb decisions and need supervision. People think I am crazy for looking sideways at the concept of sleepovers, but I guess I am following the neuroscience. I also do not want my kids getting into marijuana in their teens either. Very strong correlation with early marijuana use and schizophrenia. |
Haha omg you can not be serious lol |
There is ZERO evidence on marijuana and schizophrenia link. There would be millions of them. Any correlation is schizophrenia’s use marijuana to subdue their symptoms. |
I hate to say it but this was part of the excitement of high school. College is where things get dicey because of the alcohol involved and temperaments seem to be stronger in the male frat sect. In HS, you were labeled a lot more openly. |
There are always going to be parents that think religion makes kids less horny |
I work in adolescent sexual and reproductive health and this is absolutely not the norm. If most kids in their social circle are becoming sexually active at 14-15, I would be asking a lot of questions about parenting and parent-child communication, and having some serious conversations about agency, communication with partners, and access to SRH services. |
