(6,257 posts)For the vast majority of human history people were married and having children in their teens. It was necessary for survival since people did not live very long. Socitey has changed and that is no longer necessary for survival, but biologically speaking the body still thinks it is, so of course a lot of teens will have sex. The reasonable thing to do is explain to them about birth control and make sure they have access to it. Besides, this isn't what we are talking about. The difference is this, you seem to think it's okay to shame children into doing what you want. I'll say this right now and then I'm done with this argument, because it is going nowhere. Any parent who uses shame and humiliation to teach their children really needs to work on their parenting skills, because shame and humiliation are never good teaching skills. It's sad to see so so many so called "progressives" claiming it's fine, but whatever I'm done with this discussion. It's gone in circles since it started and I'm tired of it.
