[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Problem is boys and girls have no business having sex to begin with.  We aren't talking about men and women here.  We're talking about kids, teens, high schoolers.

This notion that women have sex just to get men to love them or to win their approval is silly.  Women can have consensual sex for the pure enjoyment of it - no strings attached - just as much as the men that they are sleeping with.  But this is grown up stuff.  Not something for teenage kids (and minivan moms) to gossip, tease and tsk tsk about.

Would I want my child to hang out with a promiscuous teen?  Well no I would not.  That doesn't mean that I completely frown upon unattached adults having consensual sex without a committed relationship.  I don't applaud it, but it's not my beeswax. [/quote]

But some kids have always started having sex before 18, whether or not their parents forbade it.  Also, some kids turn 18 in high school.  There is no "magic day" on which someone is suddenly mature enough to handle a sexual relationship.  Obviously, the legal age is 18.  But there is little difference in the emotional maturity of a high school senior and college freshman.

I know this discussion has been on all ages of teens and not specifically on HS seniors.  But the point remains- some kids start being sexually active before they move out of their parents' home.  It is a fact of life.  Parents cannot simply wish it away and should not pretend it doesn't happen.  [/quote]
