[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If that is how you define it, then of course it is wrong. Here is where I think there is further confusion, if one can believe that, because this seems so obvious to me as well. ANYONE who engages in sex like this (at any age, but my god HS???) should be held accountable for these shameful actions. NO ONE should be celebrated for it in any way. Have we really gotten so far off course that we think the solution to "celebrating" boys shameful behavior is to turn around and celebrate girls when they do that?[/quote]

[b]I don't think parents have celebrated HS boys' conquests but other boys certainly do[/b].  Girls traditionally have faced pressure from the other direction.  [/quote]

And in my dream world, that is what needs to change. This is why I am teaching my 3 boys (one pre-teen, others still elementary) from the get-go to respect women and girls as people and human beings. You don't use other people for your own gratification or to improve your popularity status among your friends. You feel sympathy for other young people who may be so lost or confused or desperate to impress that they will do anything to impress a boy... or "the boys." That is a sign of weakness, not strength. And yes, you are judged by the company you keep so while you are kind to everyone, you do not hang out with these people and you make better choices in friends.[/quote]

Me too.

In addition, I say, some girls have a low self esteem and/or a bad home life and/or mental illnesses. These girls act out in ways that are obvious to everybody but nobody says anything except they are "free spirits" or "party girls". It is not okay to have casual relationships with these girls because they are fragile and they need somebody to be good to them not use them. Even if they are consenting and adults it is a bad path to embark upon. [/quote]

I hope my boys know your boys![/quote]
