[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 225826, member: 1436"] I think that forming an open honest relationship is the best defense in a world that is so liberal and accepting of unacceptable behavior. Young girls are really so naive. They think they know everything, and most are misinformed. I taught a mixed gender English class last year. We were reading Romeo and Juliet, so I went through some dating habits of Elizabethan England. One of the things dealt with virginity. If you married someone who found out upon marriage night that you were not a virgin, they could divorce you immediately. I had several girls ask me after class how your husband would know if you weren't a virgin. I told them they needed to ask their parents. One of them came back later and said that she was not allowed to talk about sex with her parents. Because I knew her, knew she was in relationship, I became her confident. I know it probably wasn't ethical, but she really needed someone to talk to. She would come to me from time to time with questions, and I would provide titles of books and websites to help her find the answers. With my own children, I have always been open and honest. There is a period of autonomy where they become secretive and pull away. During that time you have to talk in "general" not personally. [/QUOTE]
