[QUOTE="welcometowitsend, post: 564560, member: 14356"] This worries me too with my daughter. She is only in grade 8 and not interested in dating at this point. Right now she seems to have a good head on her shoulders. I look at difficult child and how much he has done in the last year and I think UGH!! In the last 6-8 months he has had at least 3-4 different sexual partners. It is true that there seems to be a shift in thinking for some girls (not all) in their views on sex and sexual interaction. There are plenty of girls out there that are using guys for sex just as much as the guys are using girls. difficult child had a 'Friend with Benefits' - and she had more than one guy that she was doing this with. Gross! That said, statistically I don't think we are far off where we were 20-30 years ago with who is having sex, who isn't and at what age. There are still plenty of good kids. So, here is what I'm planning to do with easy child. Group outings are fine as long as they have a purpose - bowling, movie, that type of thing. Right now it's a gaggle of girls and their one guy friend - and he's harmless. Hanging out would be fine at our house or if there were only girls involved. We don't do a lot of sleepovers and that will stay that way (this is how my cousin got into a lot of trouble as a teen) Lots of talks about self respect, honouring your body, personal space, dignity and regrets when you're older. I will probably let her start dating (ie. semi-formal, movies, dinner, something with a purpose - not hanging out) at 15/16 as long as the boy is not more than 6mo - 1 year older than her. Ideas for curfews? What does everyone think is reasonable? [/QUOTE]
