anyone else just getting over whelmed by the drop in ages? i mean it use to be a big thing if you were 17 and pregnant and now there's 12 and 13 years old having sex and getting pregnant! i was 16 when i started having sex!! and i thought it was to early! seeing this and looking at my son I'm honestly getting scared! what has happened to the world? who told these kids its fine to have sex that young! seriously and the age that people except socially is getting younger and younger! anyone else concerned about your children? what are your plans (if any) to keep your kids form having sex that young?|||it scares the heck outta me, i have a 7 yr old step daughter who thinks shes 16, she came over one day and we found her rubbing herself on the bed as if she were having sex with it, then another time she showed us how she likes to dance (against the wall, dirty dancing , like a stripper) we asked her were she learnt that froma nd she said her 15 yr old friend taught her. the wordt part is her mother sees nothing wrong with this behaviour. im trying to teach my son (hes only 2 but its best to start early these days) to respect women im currently pregnant with number 2 and am kinda hoping its a boy, i know both sexes are equally involved when it comes to gettting pregnant but i dont know what id do if i had a daughter who got pregnant at 12 or 13|||Ditto what Kim said - my husband was 13 or 14 when he lost his virginity and I thought that was disgusting. I was 17 when I lost mine, and I too wish I had waited longer. It was with my high school boyfriend and I thought it would last forever. Silly me, but it felt that way. Now I am pregnant with my first child, a girl, and I will just educate her early on and let her know that I am always open and trustworthy for conversation, no matter what the subject is.|||Oh yeah I'm scared to death and my child hasnt even been born yet. I think the best way to fight it is educate your children at an early age. It's a bit ridiculous but theres not much we can do to shelter them from it. We just have to inform our children, let them know they can talk to us about it, and love them. If your religious, teach them the right way. That's just my opinion though.|||I agree! Like you I'm terrified! I'm going to be a single mom (21 years old) of a little girl. I hope growing up seeing how we struggle on our own, will teach her to do better for herself. I plan on being very open with her, so that she can feel free to talk about ANYTHING with me.|||I have teenage daughter and have discuss sex before marriage in depth. Her heart is to save herself till marriage. We have sought to raise our children with morals and respect for themselves and others. I know that sadly this is not the popular view these days.|||haha I am the same way its just going to get worse with time too....I just think I am going to keep them locked up forever....haha j/k I will teach them to the best of my ability and hope for the best thats all we can do.|||Oh I know what you mean...when I was 12 I never even thought about sex. It's ridiculous...I think it's all the music and movies out today along with peer pressure...I mean idk it just knd of got acceptable in the world! it's ridiculous!|||I totally agree with you, I think it is shocking that people just accept the fact that babies are having babies, I have 2 girls aged 14 and 12, we are a very open family and my girls can discuss anything with me (thankfully) I try to be as honest and open as i can with them, also tell them the usual crap that boys will come out with (If you love me you would, stuff like that) I know 100% that my 14 year old will not be sexually active for some years, really hope my 12 year old will follow her sisters lead, but likewise i try to teach my boys to respect women/girls and that sex is a special thing for adults who love each other.|||I know, my feelings are that people need to stop thinking if they talk to their kids about sex they will go out and have it. My parents talked to me openly about it, and if I chose to do it, how to protect myself, my father also showed me pictures of all the std's out there and really that was so gross it turned me off from sex when I was young and believe me my hubby got tested for everything! I am going to talk to my kids as soon as they reach that age whatever it may be and have an open relationship so if they have feelings they can come and talk to me w/o fear of being judged or having the one sided talk... I think the most important thing is talking openly to your kids and being the louder voice over tv and their peers I have helped many of my cousins and nieces/nephews whom felt comfortable talking to me and am happy to say they all are in college now and no babies...except one who is married (my sister) but thats ok she was still out of school and in her early 20's|||I know just how you feel. I look at my daughter and wonder what I'm gonna do when she starts doing the whoppy. All I can say is that I'm probably like most parents out there. I'll talk to her about it because it's my personal belief that if you act like sex is something forbidden, the child will be too ashamed to talk to you when they do start doing it. I want to teach her that it's between two people who love each other, not between two people treating it like a science experiment. I also hope that my relationship with my daughter will be strong enough so that when she does have sex, she will be able to be open and honest about it so I can at least make sure she doesn't get herself pregnant.|||I feel that is extremely too young! I dont think that society is accepting it. It's just more so being thrown out there. I feel it's the parents fault. If these KIDS wern't doing what they wanted when they wanted there wouldn't be this EPIDEMIC of teenage pregnancy. If the parents would teach their kids some moral values, not let them come and go as they please, not let them go to their so called boyfriends house for hours on end. Im sure there would not be this problem. And to make matters worse instead of using common sense they dont put their daughter's on BC and then act like their in total shock when they find out their "PRECIOUS" little girl is pregnant. And they opt for the easy way out of abortion instead of making them take responsibility for their actions and make them keep the baby! Therefor the parents have taught them nothing. Then after making them get an abortion, they still dont put their child on BC. Which means it happens again. If my daughter ever was to get pregnant...(which I doubt she will anytime before she is 18) I would never take her to get an abortion. I would make her take responsibility and get her butt on BC after she had the bbay( U know the kind that lasts for 5 yrs)! And as for the parents with the little boys who are going around getting all these girls pregnant. They really need to have a SERIOUS talk with their sons about STD'S, HIV, and AIDS! I have 3 boys and ima make sure they know how importanat it is to wait. And if for some horrible reason they dont(I pray to god they do) Ima teach them how important it is to wear a condom(no wear 2 condoms). For their safety, and so they wont get anybody pregnant. Im shocked they dont have condoms in the vending machines with the chips and candy....SMDH....I agree with you though....100%|||the day my hubby told me he lost his virginity ( way too much to a personal story to share) but at 13 I about fell out of my chair, at 13 I hadnt even kissed a boy, I knew my mother would whoop my hind quarters if i did... no way in hell... sex wasnt even in the picture, granted i was 17 but graduated from high school already and was unfortuantely with my first love, felt right at the time, looking back I wish i waited longer...
