Second, for the love of all, being sexually active with one boy does not meet any definition of promiscuous.

Third, why are we using the word promiscuous in 2018?!

Yep. Increases risk and undoubtedly teaches poor sex habits - rushing, no ability to relax, etc.

If your child is concerned about the friend, give her tools about how to talk to her friend about concerns and how to be a good friend.

Best response in the whole thread.

Prudish. Prude is a noun. Other than that, I agree with you.

Wrong. Prude and prudish are both incorrect in the context above. The correct form of the word would be prudishness.

+ 1. By law in Maryland, the girl cannot consent to having sex. Not until age 16. She's not even 14. It's statutory rape no matter what the age is of the boy. The point of laws like this is to protect minor females. Remember the term "jailbait"?

Uh, not sexist at all. The rules applied across the board whether you were male or female. No parent that I knew at the time would have knowingly allowed a 14 year old boy into their daughter's bedroom and vice versa.

I'm not saying that kids didn't find a way to have sex or that kids didn't sneak their love interests into their bedrooms at night. But parents absolutely did not condone "in your face" antics like that.

Kids living under their parents' roof had standards to abide by. I think that served them well as they grew older and formed their own loving adult relationships.

There were lots of parents you didn't know.

I distinctly remember being in a boy's bedroom when I was a 15-year-old girl, with the knowledge of both sets of parents. In the 1980s. My loving adult relationship is coming up on 29 years, and the boy's has gone on for over 20 years as well. So I think we're doing ok so far. Maybe it's because I was 15 instead of 14?

That boy should have been arrested and charge with statutory rape. You were and are a victim.
