[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Alcohol and condoms are not the same thing. Do not be obtuse. I don't care if you aren't happy about it.

There are free condoms at my house in the first bathroom drawer. There are also free tampons in there. In the kitchen there is a bowl of M&Ms and sometimes soda in the fridge. All perfectly legal things that you might not offer your teen in your home.

FYI, your teen's HS is also providing condoms to your teens (in MoCo).[/quote]

When I was in high school, all the kids talked about parents like you, who tried so hard to be friends with the teenagers.[/quote]

Nope, not trying to be friends. Just want them to be safe.[/quote]

You and I are similar.  This”friends” thing is so ridiculous.  Yes I am friends with my kids AND I am their parent and have clear boundaries on things important to me and our family.  It’s not binary.  But it appears to be a dialectic many parents have a hard time understanding.  I’m probably most proud that my kids have always told me they could come to me knowing I wouldn’t freak out about stuff and I’d help them think through solutions or responses to their concerns or situations.  On the specific OP issue, normal for many teens to be very opposite sex obsessed for awhile.  Had teens that went through this and teens that didn’t.  For the girls, especially, it can become a game of popularity/status.  Just keep things open in terms of communication, help her gain self esteem in other areas, and yes, be aware that 14/15 is when a lot of kids are sexually experimenting.  Especially oral sex.
