[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why does it bother people if other parents don’t want their underage children having sex? Thats disgusting. They are children. This is the United States. People should have the freedom to believe and do whatever they want. [/quote]

10 years from now your kid is going to be sitting in therapy because their parent called them disgusting when they found out they had sex at 17 with their also 17 year old boyfriend or girlfriend. That’s was teenagers do. It’s normal, it’s healthy and it’s parents like you that cause kids to grow up having intimacy issues. [/quote]

NP. No, teenagers having sex is not healthy (unless they’re married, and most teens are not mature enough for that). Sex is a huge commitment that involves emotional intimacy and physical risks as well (STDs, pregnancy). Even if you have no religious or moral objection to teen sex, consider this:  no birth control is 100%. If your son gets a girl pregnant, he has zero say in what happens next. None. She might abort a baby he wanted to raise. He may spend the rest of his life paying for a baby he didn’t want. I tell my son not to have sex with anyone he wouldn’t want to co-parent with for the rest of his life.

And causal sex is more likely to lead to intimacy issues than avoiding it is. DH and I dated for many years without having sex and eventually got married. Very close with each other and our families of origin. [/quote]

I was a teenager once. And I was having sex. So was literally every other teenager I knew. I was extremely responsible-I was on BC and we always used condoms as well every single time. Saying “don’t have sex” actually causes more teenage pregnancies then making sure your teenagers are safe, have the facts and know to they can come to you about birth control. [/quote]

I am not a fan of teens having sex but once you are a young adult, maybe with degree in hand, say 21 years old, and can have a real job it’s fair game to enjoy being young regardless of married or not. [/quote]
