[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't allow it. I'm sure son or daughter won't be traumatized for life for not having sleepovers.[/quote]

And how about slumber parties and camp? Ban those too?[/quote]

It's very unfortunate to not allow these activities, that's for sure.  But what alternative does a parent have?  Especially if they are not OK with their young teen having sex (in any form). [/quote]

I'd like to think I would talk about sex, trust and boundaries with my child, as I would if I assumed her to be straight.

For the person who said their kid wouldn't be traumatized, I'd ask what your teenage years would have been like if you hadn't been allowed to have sleepovers, participate in slumber parties, or go to camp. And then when asked why you couldn't participate, you had to say, "I can't. I told my parents I'm bisexual and now they don't trust me to sleep in the same room with other girls."

I didn't go to slumber parties, have sleepovers or go to camp as a teen and I am just fine. No trauma at all, not even an issue.[/quote]
