My daughter can date at 16 as well and I will know where she is.

I have boys and although my husband hopes they're little stud-muffins, I'm really worried about the teenage boy experience. My main concern is that I don't want them a) having sex too young; b) having wreckless, unprotected sex and c) taking virginity lightly. I don't want my boys to be one of those heartless kids who's life's goal is to "conquer" as many high school girls as he can. I guess I just want them to know that sex -for girls- usually has strong feelings attached and taking someone's virginity (even if she wants you to) is a big responsibility.

"If you're having sex, I hope you're being smart about it." Yeah... that was it. I think in a group setting it is ok to do things in public on occasion, but I had a 10PM cerfew until I was 16. Then it was 11PM... and my senior year (I was 18), I did what I wanted. My mom’s “talk” was this. “If you’re having sex, I hope you’re being smart about it.” Yeah… that was it.

We're Catholic - abortion would have been out of the question for my folks (although don't tell my mom - I'm pro choice too). And my mom also made it very clear she was done raising kids too. So fear of God and Motherhood gave me the impetus to tell my boyfriend to keep his hands to himself. My mom did however give me one good bit of advice: "There are a lot of things you can do without having intercourse. Be creative." She was right. :-) I was allowed to go out in groups at 15, and I did have a boyfriend, but I was told in no uncertain terms that my parents would kill me, bury me, dig me up and kill me again if I even thought about thinking about getting pregnant before I was married.

I've agree my kids can date at 16 and my son can hang out with girls WITH HIS SISTER at 15. Yep, I'll have my little spy. I say you are in the right, ikkk for her to even write that to him. Makes one wonder what brought it up and even worse where she comes from. Yes, I do know that not all things kids think are from their upbringing but sometimes it is. Good luck, hope it works.
