To think that being sexually active is underrated these days?

I walked past a secondary school on the way home from picking my dd up from nursery today and the things I'm hearing! Girls that look barely old enough to be in secondary school talking about what 'him and her' were doing the other night! Is it not a big deal anymore?

Any boy thinks he is going near my baby has another thing coming!

Your thread title suggests something entirely different from what your post says.
And no point burrying your head in the sand! Teenagers have sex. Don't start worrying about it now, or the next 12ish years are going to be really traumatic on you both.

I never cease to be shocked too.

I do think though if you bring your children up to respect themselves and others you give them a good start in dealing with it all.

Surely you can't base that opinion on overhearing snippets of a conversation between a couple of school kids?

most teens that age tend to lie about sex.

OP how old are your children? I f they are very young try not to worry just yet.
I happen to have a seventeen year old who just got himself a knock out of a girlfriend, sweet girl, smart and mature just as he is, I can not afford luxury of talking hypothetically, when any minute now he will probably embark on his first sexual experience, instead we need to equip him with tools how to deal with it physically as well as emotionally.
No point being prude about it and pretending it's not happening, but instead being open and factual will probably help him trough a very hard and confusing chapter of teenage life.
