No, sorry to burst your bubble. |
Hell no absolute not |
I don’t exactly know what that is, but that’s not what I meant. It’s not just that it prevents them from dating or hooking up with other people, it can prevent them from making friends, from making an effort to go out and being social, from just generally letting go of high school and growing up a bit. People in college with boyfriends/girlfriends from high school are weighed down. They’re less fun to be around. |
Wasn't attacking you, OP. Was attacking the permissive parents that justify looking the other way or worse enabling their kids to engage with alcohol, sex and drugs as adolescents. |
That implies that they won’t have a ‘serious’ relationship in college to weigh them down. |
Not at all. It’s different when you have friends in common, when you’re not leaving campus every other weekend to go visit someone, when you actually want to go out and be social because you don’t feel like you have to sit home and behave, or whatever. |

I completely disagree. I really don't want my kids in any sort of long-term relationship before age 21. Preferably age 25. I assume they'll have sex before then so it's going to be more casual. |
Bow chicka wow wow |

I wouldn’t be thrilled if my under 16 had sex personally. I’d prefer they wait until college but you can only control so much. I had sex at 14 and was not ready at all and wish I waited.

| Lately I’ve been know. To stare |
Why did you do that? Didn’t you want a connection with someone that cares about you? |
I don’t get thinking having sex at a younger age is preferable to having a relationship ship at a younger age. |
They just won't tell you they are seeing someone. They'll be sure to speak about their significant other "casually" enough to satisfy you that it's just a hook up. |
