[QUOTE="DDD, post: 416162, member: 35"] Being a generation older than most of you I was shocked to experience the differnce between "accepted" behaviors in the 90's compared to the 70's. My easy child/difficult child was exceptionally good looking (I didn't create him so I can say that, lol) and starting in elementary girls were after him. husband and I capitalized on his athletic abiity and he was literally at golf, basketball or baseball practice practically every afternoon/evening. It absolutely wasn't easy at my age to "bond" with the parents of his peers but I did a good job. His friends were all from intact, God fearing, diligent families. In middle school there were supervised parties very often. I patted myself on the back, lol. Well....after he was in high school he began to share info about his early teens and OMG some of the straight A sommunity active girls were "pleasuring" him and some where prepared to do "the dirty". In retrospect there is not one parenting error that I made based on the experts. Not! It's very sad to me. From my perspective that is a big reason why young adults don't "court" and go thru the steps toward a relationship. I wasn't a perfect teenager by any means but I find the impact of sexuality on little girls absolutely nauseating. DDD [/QUOTE]
