[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to scare them. My parents were extremely conservative and told me if I had sex I would be robbing my future husband of my purity. I was absolutely terrified of the consequences and it worked![/quote]

This is so wrong. What about girls/women who were raped? Your culture views them as unpure? As stained? Ruined? How backward.

[b]My DH and I strive to teach our kids, girls and boys, that a person's worth/value should be judged by their character, not sexual history[/b]. We also work to identify misogyny and tools of control, especially those which are disproportionately negative for women.

We deal in facts, not fear. Life outcomes are statistically better for kids who delay intercourse, delay partaking of substances and those who focus on education. We talk about healthy relationships, contraception, STDs and pregnancy. When they choose to have sex, it will be a more informed decision. [/quote]

Sexual activity in such young age does not happen in isolation. Usually there is dysfunction in the family, poor boundaries, hyper sexualization of children, neglect and abuse from parents, poverty and poor literacy.   [/quote]
