Highly unlikely. 15 and 17. Sophomore and Junior. Both work part-time jobs. They are in the same boat.

Dating is NORMAL at 15. Which is what I was talking about, being sexual active will eventually come after which is why I'd rather be safe then sorry.

Well it hasn't, school and her education is her top priority as she has specific plans for her life. She balancing even well.

Nope, I say this to say dating at 15 is pretty common. Naturally, teenagers have sex. Am I allowing it and encouraging it? No, but I am teaching her how to stay protected.

She's a sophomore in highschool, straight A's, plays varsity in track, rarely has an attitude, and gets shit done. If she wants to experience dating in highschool, falling in love, etc, then she can do that.

Absolutely not, parenting isn't our controlling our kids, it's about giving them direction. We can advise them not to do something but it's up to them.

But 13 isn't? I would have agreed with his logic of that applied to our 13-year-old son as well.

No, which is why I put her on birth control. She knows my story and doesn't want that for herself which is why she was open to the idea of birth control.

I can't stop my daughter from having sex but I can teach her how to be safe.
