Alot of people in today's world have decided that once a person is able to have sex it is ok as along as they practice safe sex. In my opinion this is the wrong message to be telling today's teens, but on the flip side telling they can't have sex wouldn't work either. When we are told not to do something it often makes us want to do it more. So what should we be telling todays teens?
I don't have all the answers but I personally think that if adults would talk to their kids about hot to handle relationships properly and give them a little unwanted supervision it is less likely anything would happen.
On the flip side of that to much aupervision is bad as well because it will cause the teen to sneak around and do things anyway. I believe there has to be a balance in all this and some trust is needed as well because if there is no trust between a kid and their parents they're going to look elsewhere for that trust.

My parents have always been very open and willing to talk about sex with us kids. I think it's a great thing b/c I know that in my case I know what I do and don't want to do. I also know that in the even I do decide to have sex I can go to my parents and make sure it is done safely...I think more parents need to be willing to talk about it. Think about it in households where it's not talked about, it's like the forbidden fruit. You are told no so you just want it more. If you're parents can't talk about it you're just going to go find out for yourself and that's the wrong thing to advocate.
