"In the future, I want to wait to have sex until I meet someone who appreciates me. Sex can bring negative things when you are not ready for it."

I don't see what al of the shooting is about.

The article SUPPORTS abstinance.

That said: I have met 15 year old kids who could have written this article.

Second: her parents are morons. By age 13, her mom should have sat her down and had The Talk. If Mom was too embarrased, she could have gotten an Auntie or someone else to do it

Parents who dodge this are just BEGGING to become early grandparents.

There are also a number of wholesome books that can be used. I know, I bought one for my daughter to look at and read.

I had The Talk early with my daughter (age 10) because she started her period at that age and it scared her. I'm not shy about such things, so it was easy for me. It would have been cruel to not tell her WHY her body was doing what it was doing.

I also wanted to be sure that she had the proper names for things, and that she understood what I thought of teen-age sex, unwanted pregnancy, etc.

I wanted to be very sure that my daughter got her first exposure to these things FROM ME, not the school, not her class-mates.

So I took the bull by the horns.

I do not believe a fifteen year old wrote this essay BUT that's beside the point. My mom and I talked about sex frequently. When I came back from college, she practically threw a party because I was still *ahem* virtuous and didn't get knocked up by from drunk frat boy.

I felt really bad about it because growing up I was taught that you shouldn’t lose your virginity until you’re married.

But according to this article --- the parents did talk to her --- told her not to lose her virginity until marriage --- apparently she feels that early sex education --- in elementary school would have told her something other than what her terrible parents did. The incompetent parents obviously were wrong to tell her to wait for marriage.
