[quote=Anonymous]I honestly wonder about some of the people expressing outrage in this thread to the point of saying the OP isn't even parenting.  I'm not sure they have kids that are over the age of 10 or were teenagers themselves.  In what world have teens never had sex?  Do you honestly NEVER leave your 16 year olds unattended at home?

My son is 16 and has a serious girlfriend.  Both are honor students, active in sports and other extracurriculars.  Son has his license, a car, and a part-time job.  I trust him to drive to and from school, work, and have hours of unsupervised time outside of our home- yet according to some posters I'm not supposed to trust him in my own home?  At some point- I have to let go and let him navigate the world on his own.  I've talked with him about sex and laid down clear rules and expectations.  I trust him and he has rarely done anything for me to question that trust.

OP's mistake was not discussing sex and setting rules and expectations earlier.  But if her daughter wants to have sex, she's going to have sex.  To all the outraged posters- no amount of slut shaming will change this for OP's kid or your own.  [/quote]
