Jeez....They are going to at some point in their lives it is wasted energy to worry about it.
You raise your children the best you can, you arm them with as much common sense & knowledge as you can & go from there.

I have a 15 year old son and I wouldnt say Im concerned about him losing his virginity! I know if and when he has sex theres not a thing i can do to stop him. Im more concerned about diseases and pregnancy! Ive taken the time to tell him all about the diseases and the high risk of pregnancy so he knows all about that. My son and I are very close and he knows he can come to me when the time gets here and Ill personally go and buy him condoms or any other kind of protection he may want!!!! I just want him to be protected while he is doing it!

Hardly ever (father of 14/16). I trust their judgment - if they find the right person I know they
1) will be responsable and use protectionS
2) know what they're doing
3) can come to us with ANY question or problem they might have.
I also HOPE that my children will have sex before marriage (should they decide to marry) - as sex is too important to enter into a lifelong relationship without having tested the compatibility.

Just about every time you leave the house unattended. The reasons are many but all due to the fact that they love you and worry about you. There is concern of not only an unwanted pregnancy but sexually transmitted diseases, HIV, AIDS, and being unprepared emotionally for the experience. Parents want their children to be safe and you need to think about and address all of these concerns for yourself. Talk to your parents or call Planned Parenthood for advice, don't give in to pressure and be prepared before you say yes. It's your body and your life, take care of it and be happy.

My son is only 11 monthes old and I am already worried about it! I am very protective of him and I dont want his heart to be broken by some sleazy girl just out to get laid. I know I am a good 15 or more years (hopefully!) from this, but like I said. I didnt lose mine til I was 17 and then my mom cried for like 2 hours because she said I disappointed her becasue I didnt wait til marriage. Its their choice, but still, we love em and care for our kids.

After my daughters turned 16 instead of worrying I figured it would happen and just accepted it as a natural fact of life. I made sure they had all ?'s answered and access to birth control, not only the pill but condoms they could insist their partner wear as extra protection.

I don't know. I'm a parent but not of teenagers (yet). I don't worry about it. I only want them to be safe and not sorry. I'm not going to obsess about whether or not they're having sex as long as they're well educated.

If they are responsible parents of course they do. Hopefully they have taught standards that the children will respect and hold them accountable if they do not uphold the standards.

My mother told me she worried about it constantly. There's disease, pregnancy and last but not least, heartbreak. However, we've talked and she taught me well and I'm better for it.
