[QUOTE="Fran, post: 229932, member: 3"] I have a lot of opinions regarding sex and teens. The bottom line is that it happens more times than not. Teaching self respect, pride and the consequences of unprotected sex is all we can do. If it's a difficult child, all bets are off. They will do what they know will break their parents heart. Just because they could. I had a pretty scary father in terms of strict. Same story as change had except immigrant Italian parents. Very suspicious of the new cultures rules so kept me to the one's he grew up with. Hard work, no back talk, hard work and no shame to the family. Needless to say it was difficult to be in our household as the oldest daughter who in my teen years had to help with babies. I couldn't [I]wait [/I]to get out. I couldn't [I]wait[/I] to date. It was a prize that spelled a chance at a life that was not pure drudgery. No laughter, no appreciation. If they had just given me normal teen control and waited until I was shown to be irresponsible(never ever was) I would not have been so interested to have what my parents thought I couldn't have or should aspire to. I was fortunate in that I read a lot and had strong women (nuns) who showed me that I had choices and opportunities. [/QUOTE]
