[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was 15 when I first had sex. I would have died a thousand deaths if someone had told my very prudish and Victorian mother. Her sex ed to me: I was a virgin till I was married/end.

So before you stir things up, look into the situation more carefully. You could cause a lot of harm by interfering. If you have to do something, speak to the girl directly.[/quote]

Guy here.  You must be my sibling, because we had the same mother.

The problem with that approach is it encourages people to marry earlier, and make bad choices.  I did not get married until I was 35.

Now, as for the question about how young is too young...that is tricky.  My daughter is 13 and I know she is too young.  I will talk to her about birth control soon, though.
But, when I was 17, I had a relationship with a girl that was 14.  We did everything but...and I was not pressuring her in anyway (confirmed that years later when).  Was she too young?  At the time, I would have said NO, but today, I would say YES.  And that is the problem.

Our kids don't have our experience from life.  They often think they are old enough to do things when we say no.  I can not keep my kid from smoking, from drugs/alcholol.  I can make it hard to get, and I can make sure she understands the dangers.  (I am confident my daughter will not smoke, and she says the right thing about drugs / drinking).  Sex?  I know she is very curious.  But she thinks boys her age are disgusting (because they are LOL).[/quote]
