[quote=Anonymous]OP I appreciate both your son's and your desire not to hurt his girlfriend. Sincerely. It's just that serious dating almost always means someone will get hurt and someone will do the hurting.

I've got a no-dating rule until 16. Everyone laughs at me and doesn't think I'll stop my son from having sex. It's not the sex I worry about. It's the emotional fallout for everyone involved at such a tender, emotional time of life. It's hard, complicated, messy, and very intense. 16 is arbitrary, and its not a criticism of your son dating at 15. I'm just giving the reasons why I am trying to delay it as long as possible.

Your son may very well hurt this girl very deeply. I don't know her, so I can't say.that doesn't mean he's a bad person at all. It's just life.  But it's a reality he needs to face. Not shy away from. It's worse to stay to avoid the pain. But if he's got to hurt her by breaking up, he needs to do it with dignity and respect.

Her parents hopefully have been having similar discussions with her. [/quote]
