[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I gave her the fear speech and [b]told her if she got knocked up she would forever be tied to this boy and his family, as would we. [/b]And that she shouldn’t be cavalier about having an abortion, although that remains a choice (at least for now, legally speaking).

Knocked up? You sound like this it's the 1950’s. Most teens don’t keep a pregnancy. [/quote]

NP. I also do not think one should be cavalier about abortion [i]or[/i] giving birth then giving up the child for adoption.

Honestly I think the fear speech + making sure there’s access to contraceptives—simply because she’s leaving for college in a few months and will be away from your supervision soon anyway.

If she was younger I’d be giving you a different answer. But it’s going to be out of your hands in a few months [b]so I don’t think it’s worth a big conflict to try and stop it at this point.[/b] [/quote]

[b]Parents are never going to stop a teen from having sex if they want to[/b].  And you definitely aren't going to get them to stop if they are already started and are still with the same person.

Agree to disagree, I see this said a lot and you can most definitely stop a kid from having sex. No hanging out with friends outside of the house, no driving/car, and having a SAH parent.

Obviously I would not [i]start off[/i] this way. However if there were concerns/issues/proved to me they’re not to be trusted I would absolutely bring down the hammer and do this.

I wouldn’t do it for a kid who started having sex a couple months before they went off to college and who’s otherwise not had any other issues, though.

And for those of you who think sex amongst teens is so incredibly common and “just going to happen” obviously you’re not aware that over the past ten years the number of sexually active highschoolers had continuously trended down.

As of 2021 only like 30% of highschoolers have had sex. And only 21% were currently sexually active.

Hardly “all teens”.
