I couldn't agree more. My 16 year old daughter has always been able to discuss sex with me quite openly. She IS still 'innocent', but one of her classmates is due to give birth any day now.
Whay horrifies my daughter almost as much as the fact that her friend will probably never complete her education is the fact that her friends mum 'doesn't care' that her daughter is pregnant. Apparently her attitude was 'oh well, the state will look after her'
What hope do children have when THAT is the attitude of their parents?
