What would you do if you found out that your 17 year old boy was having sex?
My sister in law found out her son was having sex and she
grounded him. Can you belive that? Grounded for sex.
I would have taken that opportunity to have a lengthy discussion about disease and preventative measures. When I found out she grounded him I was really stunned, how stupid.
I bet that boy has a girl pregnant before he's 20.
That's bad thing to do...
I got grounded when I was 13 because my father caught me in his bed with a 16 year old. I was her little sex toy that she could teach stuff to. My parents even made her come around one night for a lecture about pregnancy and STDs.
It was probably the most embarrassing time of my life. They didn't know it, but she already had a 12 month old son, and was going out with a 17 year old guy...who dropped her off for the little lecture my parents had planned.
Can you imagine the shit that I went through at school that week?
I went from being the stud with the 16 year old girlfriend, to the loser with the freaky parents in 24 hours!!! All that street cred and peer respect that some kids never get, gone because your parents are freaks and want to LECTURE your sex teacher!!!
It took me months to get over it!!
I would NEVER punish my kids because they had sex. That would set you up to have some really strange ideas about sexuality and love in your future years I reckon.
Before my kids started having sex, they knew about STDs, HIV and protection in all its forms. I think they've done alright. The two oldest are in their 20's and both are healthy, single and have no children.
