[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drugs, absolutely! Sex, no. There is no such thing as "safe drugs" but kids can engage in sex safely. While I'm not wild of the idea of 14 and 15 year olds having sex at all, if they are being responsible from the standpoint of protecting against STDs and pregnancy then I'm not objecting on a safety level and not outraged on a moral level.[/quote]

I disagree with both drugs and sex.  Drugs are obvious, they are illegal and they can, and do, lead to other, more harmful drugs.  Also, I don't want my children to smoke any tobacco products.  As far as sex is concerned, teenagers do not know how to handle the emotional aspect of sex and there is also no such thing as "safe sex."  Boys don't want to use condoms and girls want to be popular and do whatever they are asked to do.  This is frightening and very sad.  Any parent who thinks it is all right for their teenage child to drink beer or alcoholic beverage is absolutely wrong and, furthermore, can be arrested for serving alcohol to minors; any parent who thinks it is all right for their teenagers to engage in what they call "safe sex" is an unfit parent.  None of these things are all right.  You are supposed to guide your children.  Try being a parent not their friend.

Also, if you have to look on Facebook to find out what your child is doing, then do so.  Maybe George Hugely would not have murdered if his parents had been vigilant in monitoring his activities.[/quote]

Why, because you feel guilty about what you allow your children to do?[/quote]

Wow, you've got me all figured out! Nice work, fellow DCUrbanMom enthusiast!! [/quote]
