Please as teens and preteens you tell me what I as a parent can do to prevent my kids from becoming disrespectful, foul mouthed, over sexed teens. I am reading the things being discussed and the way they are discussed and I am scared of where the world is going. I understand that sexual curiousity is very normal in teens but the language and cavilier attitude about sex and the way women are viewed is horrible. What do you think is the biggest factor influencing this behavior?

I am a 25 year old lady. I dont have any children but agree with you on alot of you thoughts and comments.As a mother you should talk as much as you can to your children. My mom never really talked to me but i was never disrespectful to her. I did have sex before i was married but i am with the same person that i lost my viringty too. 8 years later. I think as fas as the sex it is going to happen. I was raised in a good home church etc. That is something u just have to hope they wont do. Talk to them about it let them know the conquinces. I think the biggest factor in behavior is influence from friends. It is also how the other parents raise there children. Moset parents dont care anymore

The enviroment, and the things that they see as long as u as a mother do what ur suppose to do in keeping ur kids respectful and watch what u do around them dont be a parent that says "Do as I say NOT as I do." I'm 22 years old and my mom use to tell me that make sure if u have any gurls that they feel comfortable to talk to u abt anything w/o being scared. Trust ur daughter and give her a littler freedom even though she's a gurl dont treat ur kids different because of their sex.

i think of that if a newborn/preteen/teen is in a interest or desires to be picked up from someplace that a cell telephone would be superb and accessible to have. If a newborn is showing off with it than it relatively is a waste of time and cash, and the father and mom would desire to easily no longer even subject with one except they are going to take it responsibly

I think kids learn bad language and behavior in public schools because of the wide range of students. Most of those students have big brothers and sisters who do use bad language for they have been in the same situations and might be a role model toward younger siblings.

I have three siblings, two raised by my dad and one raised by my mom. The one raised by my mom was homeschooled. Dad's kids turned out exactly like the kind that scare you so much. Mom's didn't. I think the difference was, Dad's kids spent 6 hours a day, 180 days a year, in a room with 25-30 other kids of almost exactly the same age, and one teacher. They learned their social skills, and their concept of right and wrong, from other kids who were just as young and impressionable as they were. Mom's kid spent 365 days a year exposed to adults, young children, older kids, and everything else you can imagine. She learned her social skills, and concept of right and wrong, from adults, from her teachers and tutors, from having to be a good example to the little kids, from seeking to follow the example of the older kids (whose mothers were right there so they didn't dare curse or talk about sex), and so forth.
I think that's one inherent downfall of education that relies on age-segregated, larger classes. Kids learn how to behave through their environment, through the examples presented to them. Place them in a situation where the vast majority of their "teachers" are kids just like them, trying to be cool and rebellious, trying to act like teens and kids they saw on sitcoms, and that's what your kids are going to learn. Place them in an environment where there's more accountability, supervision, and the adults are the primary teachers of social skills, and they'll learn better manners.
The best way I know to prevent kids from turning out like that is to select their school environment wisely, because it is where they will spend the largest amount of their waking hours during childhood. Because of that time commitment ("quality time" is a joke, kids are influenced by whoever gives the most "quantity time"), the school environment will have the most influence on your children's behaviour and socialization.
