[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Say:  "Sex, when you're with someone you love, is a really wonderful and powerful part of life, and it comes with many responsibilities that two people in love can share.  Sex with someone you love, and who loves you, can bring you even closer and it's so exciting to be able to make each other feel good physically and emotionally.  Mutual love and respect are magnified by sex. It's magical.  
"On the other hand, sex with someone you don't love, or you believe doesn't love you, can drive you apart.  Remember, love and respect will never be created by sex, only enhanced.  If you're having sex with someone you don't completely trust, it can be painful both physically and emotionally, and unfortunately, girls often bear the brunt of the emotional side.  (For boys:  If you love her, you must show her first, and gain her complete trust, or the sex won't be enjoyable for her, and thus won't end up being as great for you.)  (For girls:  Unfortunately, girls often bear the brunt of the emotional side, so you must wait until you really trust him, and know that you'll be able to handle any problems that arise together.)  (For Both:  Please know that you can come to me at any time if you have any questions about anything, and I will support you.  When you feel you're ready, I won't judge you, and I'll help you take the right precautions so you and s/he will stay healthy.)"[/quote]

What a bunch of BS! Sex is not magical, it's a part of life for grownups. If you tell kids it can be "magical" (which it isn't, it's physical and emotional), they'll want to have it. Listen to PP at your kids' peril. Here's another poster who just doesn't get it. What kids need to hear is go to college. Teen pregnancy will ruin your life, whether you have the baby or not. Learn how to say "NO" and mean it. Tell boys it'll ruin their future, too, because they don't hear it enough around here.

Personally, I knew a few kids who were sexually active at a young age. It didn't help them at all. A friend's sister had a baby at 16, married the boy, kept the baby, divorced the father a few years later, lived with her parents through college and eventually married a nice guy. This may seem like a happy outcome to those of you who have no sense, but as an observer from a safe distance, I think she wasted several years of her life on a guy her sister called a bum. To everyone.

Here's what you tell DD. Use birth control. Learn about your reproductive system. But more than that. Look at this guy: is he worth 18 years of child support arguments? Is he worth never having a life of your own? Go to college baby free. Plan for a future of your own first, have big dreams and pursue them with passion. Look beyond the guys you meet and make sure to protect yourself physically and emotionally. Never let yourself be pressured into sex and never put yourself into a position in which you can be intimidated. When your peers behave differently, think for yourself.

Anyone who lives by magical thinking is an utter moron.
