It’s often a cover for getting drunk, sneaking out, staying out all night, or having sex.  That’s gotta be obvious to people thought right??[/quote]

I just don’t see how people think this.  Don’t you all have tracking on your kids?  I check where my kids are all the time.  They’d cut their arm off before they left their phone so I’m pretty confident I know where they are and they aren’t out carousing.  [/quote]

The tracker doesn’t tell me if my kids are drinking or having sex. And easily they could leave their phone at a location and pretend to be sleeping. [/quote]

And….? As parents we can’t prevent everything.

It’s not like I am going to allow my kids to do that, but it’s normal teen behavior. Better to be doing that than sitting in their room alone playing video games and sending nudes to randoms on Snapchat to get their kicks. It’s funny when people act like if they just turn the screws harder on their kids, instead of being out drinking they will be in their room studying and writing their first novel. Lol [/quote]

There is some ground between a kid sitting alone and playing video games and nudes on snapchat and sleepovers that are definitely opening the door to behaviors that can get them in trouble.  For example, kids can go out and have social lives and then come home by a certain time.

But in theory I agree with you that if I'm choosing between binge drinking/sex under the influence and sending nudes to randoms on Snapchat following video games online...it's a real tossup![/quote]

I would 1000% prefer my kids to be home playing video games than out and about drunk and having teenage sex.[/quote]

Am I the only mom that doesn't go crazy over teenage sex?  I had it and loved it. Not ashamed of it.  Teens have tons of hormones and they explore.  I don't condone drinking or drugs, but socialization and boyfriends/girlfriends and sex are gonna happen.  I much prefer that to an introvert playing video games and getting all of their sexual urges out with snap nudes and unrealistic porn.  [/quote]

I have no issue with it in a committed relationship with teens who treat each other well and it's sex not under the influence.

The sleepover environment in this age group can (and not at all saying always does) lead to binge drinking and an environment that enables sex that at best people regret the next morning to sexual assault.  It's not any different than what can happen in college.  I believe it's naive to not be aware this stuff goes on and it's not uncommon.  The stats on this are that it happens to a lot of women.  I have boy and girls.  I don't want any of them in these positions at this age.  Lots of fun to be had and still be in my house past a certain hour.  My son doesn't even play video games and has a social life filled with real people and leaves the house.[/quote]
