[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] My 15 year old daughter is taking AP BC calc next year as a sophomore and is also sleeping with her boyfriend. These things are not mutually exclusive.[/quote]

You aren’t the cool mom you think you are. Other moms are not impressed that you are good with your high school freshman having sex or with your “parenting.”[/quote]

I’ve never tried to be a cool mom, mostly I’m known to be pushy about math. When my 15 year old daughter hinted that she and her boyfriend were thinking about sex I took her to her doctor to discuss and make sure she fully understood all of the risks and how to think about that decision. I could have yelled at her and tried to break them up, but I’ve seen that go very wrong. Thanks for judging my “parenting”, we’re all just doing our best here.[/quote]

While we cannot 100% prevent our kids from doing anything, a 15 yo does not have the maturity, and in many states the legal right, to consent to sex. So I hope that in addition to taking her to the doctor, you told her that you don’t allow children to have sex and took steps to try not to allow the opportunity. It’s not a “decision” a 15 yo can really make, just like you (hopefully) wouldn’t let her drive a car unattended or drink alcohol at age 15.[/quote]
