[QUOTE="ksm, post: 562404, member: 12511"] While our church does push for proper behavior, they don't have a class or a club specifically for it - and now "ceremony" with rings. I am not someone who expects a young adult to stay pure until marriage, yes it would be nice, but if they can postpone their sexual life until they are out of high school, I will be happy! Of course, I haven't told her that specifically, just that having sex while a teen puts a lot of stress on a young couple, but the girls usually bears the brunt of it if there is a pregnancy. We also saw a movie last month, where a dad took his daughter out for a "date" and then gave her the ring and expressed his hopes for her. A nice touch, and maybe we can incorporate something similar... The school doesn't have much of a dress code, and I don't like it when she dresses in camisoles for the only top... The other day, I made her change. Because it was 32 degrees out! I know, natural consequences... but to me, to dress scantily when it is terribly hot is one thing, but to wear a skimpy top when everyone is wearing sweats just does not send out the right message. SHe doesn't get that what she is "sending out" is going to cause problems in the future. She is petite and small... so it isn't that she has a "lot" to show off at this age. I am just afraid she is going to get a reputation before she even starts dating! KSM [/QUOTE]
