[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Speaking as the parent of a 15-year-old, I would want to know.  Perhaps you could protect yourself by saying "this may just be rumor, but I wanted you to know what was being said about X."[/quote]

About drugs or anything illegal, I would want to know, period.

[b]About sex, I would hope my relationship is such that I can trust my child's judgment on whether to tell me.  I would not want a parent I don't know talking to me about my child's rumored sex life.[/b][/quote]

Don't be absurd.  Your child is NOT going to tell you about their sex life.  There is so much peer presseure today, particularly for girls, to give oral sex and kids don't even consider it sex.  If someone heard this about my daughter, YES, I want to know.  I can deal with problems I know about but I can't deal with something for which I have no clue.  I have had frank and open talks about sex with my children since they were ten and I can only pray I've taught them well.  But, do I look for signs?  You bet your damn life I do.  I don't want to find out my son has knocked up some girl and his life is ruined; or that my daughter is giving blow jobs at parties because it is the in thing to do.  OP. would you want to know?  I can't imagine a parent who would not want to know.[/quote]
