She's 15. We don't know the age of the boy. This could be statutory rape. As a parent I would want to know
Hence the distinction I made with the phrases “other illegal behavior” and “consensual sex.”

Your teens have more rights than you know about.
It depends on the state:
Virginia has a close-in-age exemption. A close in age exemption, also known as "Romeo and Juliet law", is designed to prevent the prosecution of underage couples who engage in consensual sex when both participants are significantly close in age to each other, and one or both are below the age of consent.
A close in age exemption exists that allows teens aged 15-17 to engage in sexual congress with each other, and minors 13-15 to do the same.
DC...Close in age exemptions exist allowing minors to consent to partners less than 4 years older.
Maryland doesn't have the close in age exemption under 16, but two minors close in age are very rarely, if ever prosecuted.
Well I guess it's legal for a 13 year old girl to bring a new 13 year old boy home to her bedroom every week. That does not mean that the vast majority of society thinks that's an o.k. or healthy thing for a 13 year old child to do.

That is between a 14 yo and his/her parents. Not society. MYOB.

Reproductively they are
Still it's not about society's wants. This is between the two teens involved, and their parents.

1) Why you only think girls are "promiscuous, " not boys

PP, while you're at it, think less about OP (and her capitalization) and think more about whether we as a society want 14yos to be engaged in sexual activity.

?
We as a society don't want lots of people to do lots of things. Almost certainly, you do some things we as a society don't want people like you to do. So should I tell someone in authority over you that someone told me that you told them that you were maybe doing that thing?
To protect a child, even if from herself? Yes. I would certainly expect you to report suspicion of, for example, child abuse or elder abuse.
