Wow, it sounds like we have so much in common, Nicole! Have you been with your DH ever since? How romantic is that!! :)

I have a really hard time with the "bragging about it" thing, too. In some ways, I wonder if maybe the parents aren't falling down on the job by not instilling in their kids that this is something intimate, personal and reserved for serious commitment and not something you go around talking about to everyone. I don't know what the answer is, but I do know that I am praying for my kids' future. I am not sure how I'll handle it if they get really serious with someone in high school (The way my DH and I were), but I guess in that case, birth control might be in order! I mean---you only have so much control over what they do.

I hope that is what I am convaying to Gabrielle.I think some teens today are just too casual about sex.My 2nd cousin(19)just had a beautiful baby boy.However when she first got pregnant and my Aunt ask her about using birth control,her answer was you never know when the opportunity is going to come up so she did not have the time?????Her little boy is beautiful,but I am not evn sure she knows who the father is.I can not imagine me ever being that casual about sex.At least when you were with Michael you truely were in a commited relationship and if you had gotten pregnant Michael would have taken responsility too,because you were in love.
