do I ask about protection or just hope for the best?

As tough as it is, you must take the high road and be responsible as a parent. After all it doesn’t stop after potty training. I a sure as a loving parent you would grieve for your child’s future if they contracted HIV, or the plethora of STD's out there. Pregnancies are also as always a tough one to deal with while trying to accomplish your youthful hopes and dreams. I know I was 15 when I had my son. We made it but I can't begin to tell you what I wish my parents would have talked to me about. My sex ed came from Doctor Ruth on an FM radio. Let the here it from you FIRST. There are also a huge selection of books out there to help "break the ice" on such delicate conversations.
Good luck, and may the force be with you ;-)

You know the answer to this. You don't ask about protection. You tell him about protection. And do more than mumble about condoms. Describe how to put it on and have a LOOOOONG talk with him about STDs and teen pregnancy. Duck your head in the sand on this one and you'll only be pulling it back out to babysit your new grandchild.

Ask for protection. You don't want your son coming home saying he's a father, do you?
Didn't think so.
I bet you think you're too young to be a grandfather.

if the subject has already been discussed then i think you have a duty to arm him with all the facts about being sexually active, ie. that pregnancy isn't the only thing you can get from sex! do you know that the fastest rise in cases of HIV and AIDS is in the 15-25 age group....? it might be embarrassing at first, but its better than the other possibilities.

Or hope to be a grandparent??? lol........I would have a serious talk with him. I would talk to him about protection and why it is a good idea to use condoms. Let's see, babies, hiv, aids, herpes, sexually transmitted diseases, etc. Did I leave anything out?? If you can't talk to him about this, go to the bookstore and find a book that has information in it that you want him to know and give it to him. ASAP!!!!

Ask about protection and explain to him that if he fathers a child he's going to be taking care of it.

God grief, do u wanna be a grandpa??? Of course you ask him if hes using condoms... Im sure that he knows all about the Birds and the Bees but just ask him casually about it.... Isn't going to kill you to ask and while im sure he knows all about condoms and about protection against STDS, AIDS and pregnancy its better to put your mind at easy on that verrryyy small chance that he doesnt know about them

I would sit down with him and explain the consequences about what can happen if he does not use protection.

Of course you ask. Let him know you appreciate his honesty and you want to make sure he is being safe. Provide support and advice
Why wouldn't you ask!!! Do you want to be a grandparent from you teenage son?
