There was something wrong with your relationships if they all felt claustrophobic. Only you know whether that means there was something wrong with you and how you interacted with boys and young men. |

Newsflash: 15 year olds should not be having sex. If yours are, you are 100% failing them as parents. This thread is so gross and pathetic. |

I don't. They buy them. |
Plenty of 13yr olds are having sex -middle school teacher |
And they have been together a year?!? They've already slept together |
The average age of first sex is 16 so there are plenty of 12-15yr olds having sex whether you like it or not. A 14 and 15yr old dating for a year are already having sex. As a parent, you can only talk to them so much and get books or send info. Ultimately teens are going to do things whether you like it or not. The stern parents are always the most clueless. |
they will just see each other behind your back and your kid won't communicate with you anymore, but kudos to you for being a "great" parent |

Now find reality. I can guarantee more 15 year olds in your world are having sex |
Exactly. Spin the bottle and 7 minutes in heaven were so typical for middle schoolers. I mean look at 13 going on 30. How about the movie Thirteen. Look at every single high school movie made from the 70's until now. Some of you parents seem to have some strange notion that high schoolers are not sexually active and it's weird. And if you are going to show surveys, you realize that so so so so many teens lie, even in anonymous surveys for fear of being caught by crazy parents like you. And most teens will absolutely lie to your face. And if you forbid things, they will go behind you back the majority of the time. |
By 2010 only 5% of woman were virgins on their wedding night and 25% had 10 or more partners on their wedding night By 2020 only 1% of woman were virgins and 39% had 10 or more partners on their wedding night But you keep preaching mama!! |
I was immature. In 8th grade I watched my group of girlfriends walk off and I wished I was with them, not with a boy slobbering on me. In college I picked guys just like me. Of course guys aren’t judged as harshly. My husband was the first one I liked being with for long periods of time. |
I would not depend on a horny 14 year old to use a condom successfully. Maybe you can show him on a banana and gross him out into keeping it in his pants another couple years |
