[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 218769"] MWM - From the ages of 12-14, I went to a very rural, small school in upstate NY and sex was not uncommon among that age group. When easy child was 13, he was chatting in a private AIM chat room with friends and there was a 13 year old girl propositioning all of the boys and telling them to meet her at a certain bathroom at a certain time. I do have to say that I was proud of how easy child handled it when she asked him directly - he deflected. But, I had a hell of a time getting the school to address it - because the conversation didn't take place at school. Told them it didn't matter, when I send my child to school it is their responsibility to care for them, keep them safe, etc. And that didn't go just for my child, but for that girl, too. I had a long discussion with easy child at that time about sex and that it's not casual and how damaging it can be when done for the wrong reasons - that some people, especially girls, do it to be 'liked'. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that from my experience it's not uncommon for kids in this age group to be sexually active - or at least sexually provactive. [/QUOTE]
