My kids were raised to be responsible adults when they hit 13. No teenage period of getting away with childish things without answering for them. That is a western concept. I reject it, at least for my kids.
Worked great. No criminal records. All six in or through college. No pre-marital pregnancies. No drunks, druggies or unemployed people. It's called RESPONSIBILITY.
There is no such word in the teenage years. Prove me wrong with facts.
Isn't it weird how it's a crime when a young man has sex with a girl. If it were a 17 year old girl and 15 year old boy there would have been high-fives all around.
Your kids better be prepared to be responsible for their own actions once their in Junior High School.
I've raised 5 and they were responsible at 13. When I was a girl I knew that if I put myself in certain positions I was at risk to be raped....I never put myself in those positions. What the H*ll is a 15 year old doing in that room if she wasn't consenting to sex. Plain and simple!
