I see a lot of people say it is a sin to act out on lust. so if your child or yourself was a teen ager going through hormonal changes and gets to the boyfriend and girlfriend stage and your child wants to date because he or she is attracted to a person of the opposite sex so they act on the attraction and kiss each other, would you think that would be sinning? What happens if you found out your child had sex before marriage would you be upset? No matter how well you teach your kids things can happen but i just want your opinion and i am not trying to offend anyone i am just curious your thoughts on this.

I think sex, as sin, is over rated. That is, I think sex for humans is not that much different than it is for animals, except we are one of the very few species who enjoy it. Religion places a high premium on calling things we enjoy a sin. I think the reason for this is that they have a stake in the hereafter and that stake is to say that it's better than the here and "my religion will get you there." No, I would not be upset with my child if he or she made love prior to marriage as long as it was in love and not simple coitus for fornication's sake. I believe it's natural, not dirty, and I believe those who do not agree with this are unrealistic about the human condition. I respect the belief of others, however, and I honor the light within you, gentle reader.

The challenges parents face today with raising children is alarming. Keeping a close eye on your child while away at work, is not always possible. The cost of living is so strenuous that both parents have to work but in most cases we have single parents.
Children from broken homes running the streets, getting in trouble, looking for something to do, no parental supervision, no role models or baby sitters to trust. Being influence by crime, drugs, sex.....unbelievable.
A child without stability will naturally conform to the environments around by becoming a product of that environment positive or not.
THE QUESTION: How Does a Religious Parent Get Control?
You can't it's too late. If you were never able to supervise or instill those values on that child from the beginning with strict disciplining it's too late.
Unfortunately, these kinds of kids will always find a way to do what you don't want them to. If that child NEVER developed a level of respect for you, they are a loose cannon by the age of 6.

Evolutionary Track
Aside from the occasional trysts with fate and the serendipitous encounters with fortune, I'd say that I have stayed pretty much on the same path as most humans. It seems that my destiny may be aligned with that of most mortals, who by the way, during my latest journey, I had learned much from. What I hope they have learned from me is the sanctity of Love, Understanding, Good Will and of course, the most difficult for those of flesh and blood - Forgiveness.
As it is with most of my stays here, I'm not in the position to criticize nor challenge although what I see at times provides me impetus to offer what I'd been given - Reason. Just as I had written not so long ago:
I have Reason, I have Rhyme
Pondering my thoughts,
Throughout the eons of time
Many times we are posed a question, so simple yet the most difficult to answer: Why am I here? Ah, because you belong. Simple enough an answer and it really needs no further explanation . . .
You know, I rely on you as much as you rely on me and the symbiotic nature of our relationship provides the universe with balance, although at times, it may not appear to be so . . .
Life to me, an open book
with each page, I learn something new
Yet, I await the final
the most revealing clue
Perhaps, when our fates are decided, would we learn the truth . . . eternity it beckons, so I had heard as I stood sentry-like against the winds of time . . .
Far in the distance, perhaps another void
a place where my existence
can never be destroyed

The human lust is a very hard thing to control... To be honest, I have had some difficulties with my lust, but I try my best to control it
If my child looses this control over himself, and kisses or has sex, I would be upset, because it is a sin to do such things, but still I would forgive him, and I'm sure God would, becuase he is only human (my child)...
That's just how I think, and respect goes out to everyone

Me, myself, i've got not got a challenge with human beings going 40 5 miles according to hour in a school zone with little ones working lower back and forth around the line! I have no challenge with human beings working over little little ones!

Islam
Yes it would. Children should not be allowed to touch each other. They should be in same sex classes. Women should teach only girls and men should teach only boys. Sex and all is for marriage. This is what Islam reaches muslims. It is a good thing. It keeps girls from having pregnancies and STDS. Dating is strictly forbidden in Islam and is not tolerated.

If so happens...family should stay together...but u know? I was a teenager my self, but the difference with me, was the education I had...it changes everything.
U might want to take a look how muslims family works or even non muslim. I was raised catholic but my society hold different values from those u see in US...u have a social problem there...and it goes beyond religions...parents just dont commit with their children so they let us do what ever they like, dont set limits, dont develope a critical thinking in their kids so this is why they end up behaving like animals drive by instintics...
Teach them how to control their bodies...that is it.

I would encourage my child to have sex with the person they want to marry before marriage. It is healthy to develop a good sexual relationship with someone before you move to settle down permanently with them. Otherwise, you can get to marriage and realize it's a mistake. If you get married and find out the sex is bad, it can put a big strain on the relationship.
Similarly, I would encourage my child to live with the person they want to propose to for a while before either proposes, so they can make sure that they really could do well living together. That's another thing that becomes a problem due to chastity before marriage.
Of course, I'm Pagan, so my religion doesn't really have a rule against premarital sex.

We can't control the actions of our children forever. Kissing is perfectly natural. There is no sin in it. Sex before marriage is a sin period. If you teach your children right, they will always know the difference in right and wrong.

Live your life without worrying about sinning in the eyes of a mythological pixie who lives in the clouds with a gnarly beard.
