[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously people? Most of my friends - all good kids, great grades, athletic, nice were having sex at 16 if they had a serious boyfriend.  I'd be happy that he is in a relationship versus hooking up all the time like a lot of kids that age.  And they're being responsible! [/quote]

Trying to shame him out of having sex is worse for his well-being than having sex with his girlfriend.[/quote]

I don't think anyone mentioned trying to shame him (OR HER), but real life and practical consequences HAVE to be discussed with ALL the parents and the two kids, because the key word here is that they are KIDS. If there is a pregnancy, disease, and of course the ensuing break-up which is down the road, all of these consequences have to be dealt with and a plan needs to be in place to do so. And if there is a conflict of values between the two families, why does one get to trump the other? OPs values matter as much as the girl's mom's.  And I think it absolutely matters where sex has taken place. Were they sneaking around in the middle of the night, meeting up in the woods, etc. Safety is a concern, respect for your parents' home and values is a concern. Throwing up your hands and saying "oh well" is as irresponsible as a parent can get.[/quote]
