If she wants to have sex...and you dont allow her to have a boyfriend, I believe that she will find a way to have alone time with him and have sex. You can tell your child til your blue in the face...use a condom, that doesnt mean shes going to make him put one on. I feel bad for everyone involved in that family. Hopefully she will be a great mom (yes I do believe at 16 that is possible) |
I am not a parent myself and I agree with you to a certain degree. The kids have to take responsibility. But you know how come most good kids from good families stay out of this kind of trouble? It has nothing to do with parents just TALKING to their kids about this stuff, it's setting a strong family foundation and a good example. It's having family dinners, trips, game nights, family time out and just in general good old family time together. This builds that strong family foundation which makes the child a stronger and builds their confidence, therefore the talks are meaningful and not just nonsense.
