teens and sex

Where do you stand on this? What approach do you take. I thought I was doing well being open and keeping my girl mainly in my site! Then she came to me after her first time, and it was unprotected. I couldn't believe it, but it happens. Teens will be teens and will be curious and will get into things.

I immediately talked with her dad then we talked to her together about it. I recruited her older sister as well, that was active at a very early age. Then we decided on birth control so just incase she atleast would not get pregnant. We have pressed the issue of that one act does not define her or who she is. Just because she did that and just because she is on the pill doesn't mean that is what she has to do, and NO ONE should expect that of her as a part of them dating.

give me your views and opinions, could I do or have done anything else.

thanks a lot

promise rings

Have you heard of the promise rings yet for abstinence? I just did today, lot of the male celebrities are using these, and saying they want to stay pure till marriage. GOOD FOR THEM!

I think its great, but I don't think its for everyone. If this would work for even a year or more keeping a teen from being sexually active, its worth the effort. I think it teaches them, that words and promises are meant to be kept and not taken lightly. I think the ring will let others know where you stand and they would treat you differently. Great idea who ever came up with this.
HATS OFF TO YOU!
