feel about that now? Now that you have kids, do you think it was a good idea to have sex as a teen?


I think most women who had sex as a teen are not proud of it and wished they would have waited.


How do you feel about it now?

I'm one of those who was a bit wild and yes, unfortunately it was age 15 for me. I remember thinking "I may as well get it over with!". At least I can say it was a couple long term boyfriends in a row for me...long term being 1-2 years each. I was abused as a young child so I think I saw it as just a thing boys and girls do. College was pretty wild, I did all the things we moms dread our daughters doing. Now that I've been married for almost 17 years I understand the deeper meaning of sex and that is what I'm trying to explain to my kids. I haven't told them my history and I probably won't. But I will be quite "eyes wide open" to this situation. I think that's why I'm so against my daughter dressing like a hoochy with her pants below her buttcrack and her entire bra hanging over the front of her tanktops. I'm raising her to respect herself and to set goals worth working for....things no one ever took to the time to teach me. I can only grab the reins and hang of for dear life with this child!

I was about a week shy of my 18th birthday, with a guy I'd been dating and continued to

I agree it is best to wait until you are out of high school. because I had sex so young, I thought I HAD to stay with my boyfriend, now ex-husband, no matter what. I ignored a lot of red flags with him, that's why we're divorced today. IMO, I couldn't look at our problems when we were young because we had sex, and i was convinced I had to stay with him. We were both very immature. And, looking back I now realize boys want sex for very different reasons than girls. I didn't sleep around, BTW, but this was hard enough to deal with in high school.

I had a long-term boyfriend in high school, and while we did not technically have sex, I basically did "everything but" at age 16. Did not actually lose my virginity until age 19, with different person -- I regret that choice. I think I did it out of boredom and curiosity, it certainly wasn't because I loved the guy. If I could take it back, I would.

I think it is getting even harder for kids today, when kids are casually having oral sex at teen parties the way people used to "make out" at parties... 11-year-old girls are ALREADY talking in sexual terms to my 11-year-old son; he does not understand or particularly care, but one day he will, and when girls today are so forward, I don't know how you teach a boy to say No! But we are trying.
