How do you feel about kids/teens having sex?

LoloWaye
I was sheltered growing up and was not allowed to hang out with guys alone. My mom and step dad were so against my sibs and I having sex they regularly gave us talks as well as discussed the possible consequences of having sex. They even threatened to put us put if we got pregnant before 18.

At the time I didn't understand why they were so against it and as a result I was also scared to have sex. My first time was when I was 20, after my sophomore year of college.

However now I understand why they were like that. Kids can't handle pregnancy or STDs alone. They're going to ask someone for help, even if it's not the parent. And if the kid does get pregnant/gets someone pregnant then they add burden that didn't need to be there. I plan on adopting some of my parents lessons for when I have to talk to my own kids about this.
