[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the pp with the best friend who lost her virginity at 13.  I haven't seen any posters on here who are "fine with it."  I've seen a few posters on here who realize that reality is that if your kids wants to s/he will be having sex no matter what you say.  Our job as parents is to empower our kids so that they feel that they can say "no" despite peer pressure so that their first sexual experiences are positive ones and they grow up enjoying sex as part of life not being afraid of it (anyone who reads the explicit forum can attest to the fact that this can lead to big problems later in life.). I also think it's important that kids understand pregnancy and STDs.  I don't think it's a coincidence that the US has the highest incidence of teen pregnancy in the developed world, while at the same time many Americans have this puritanical attitude towards sex.

Btw I'm not from a country in which teen marriage is the norm.  I'm from another developed country with a much lower incidence of teen pregnancy, STDs etc.[/quote]
You've got to be kidding. Who was the last kid you met who didn't understand pregnancy? How old were they, six?
