[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 140464, member: 1233"] I think talking with the girl's parents, making sure they are vigilant, and talking to your son are crucial. I would also give him condoms, but that is my style. I don't think you can stop them from having sex, only influence their decisions. By providing condoms and a lecture/discussion (whatever works best for you and your child), you are teaching him to care for himself and the girl. Kids as young as 11 have caught serious STDs here. Many don't find out until much later. Now the STD's are different from what we were taught. They aren't visible mostly. So where we often got the advice to look for bumps, lumps and anything funny looking, any drainage, etc... NOW even that is no proof that they do or do not have an STD. Good luck with this.
