[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 83844, member: 3626"] Pretty typical reasoning for a 12 YO. I remember having the teenage pregnancy discussion with my daughter -- nowhere did she consider the male role in any of it. Of course, part was because she'd never had a father even though I made sure there were male role models in her life. Hope he enjoys debate. I loved it and was captain of my team in high school and college. Tell him taking the less-favored side is the best way to go -- if you can win over your peers when you know they are for the other side, you KNOW you've won! (I'm assuming his debates are classroom debates and not formal team debates.) It also fun to challenge your own beliefs and see if they hold up under scrutiny but I'm not too sure that argument would fly for someone who is 12. [/QUOTE]
