How would you feel if you found out your teenager was having sex?  Would you react angrily?  Or would you try to win their trust so they would open up to you?  I would want my child to feel comfortable discussing it with me so I can make sure they know facts, not whatever nonsense their sheltered or misinformed friends might say.[/quote]

I hope I would feel disappointed but not terribly surprised (mine are not teenagers yet).  I would have already told my DS and DD about the facts and what I would expect of them, and about STDs, pregnancy, and protection.  But I would absolutely not condone sex between teenagers in my home.  [/quote]

I hear you.  OP again.  I think that is how my mom would have reacted.  She would have been worried and asked me a million questions, but would not have gotten angry.  Disappointed is exactly right.  And I don't think she would ever have allowed sex in her home either.  I actually think she was pretty progressive in her attitudes but as a mom, it was always wait wait wait.  She drilled into her three daughters the dangers of getting pregnant, the impact that could have on our lives, our prospects for education, etc etc.  She wasn't a fear-monger but she did let us know what the repercussions could be.  Not sure I could condone sex in my house either.  I guess no one here does either, since no one has piped up to advocate for the approach in the article.  ;)[/quote]
