03/03 Teens and Sex with Bishop T.D. Jakes

Quote From: lrlloyd

 I wish every parnet would read Girls Gone Mild by Wendy Shalit, who happens to be Jewish so we can't bash evangelicals here.  This book is eye opening regarding how messed up we've become with sex and sexual messages.  Before we start this sex no sex debate perhaps we need to take a look at the prevailing attitudes in our society, what they say about us and the 'logical' conclusions our teens often come to based on those attitudes.

Great post. Why do some people posting here presume that concerns over teen sex are due to religious fanatacism?  I would hope that non-religous people are just as concerned about the social and emotional implications -- not just the health ones --- of teens having sex.  Have we really gotten to the point where concern over a mother permitting her 13-year-old to have sex is considered judmental and preachy?
