If my 15 year old was having sex I make her wear a chastity belt as soon as I recovered from my stroke, lol

My parents used grounding and a lot of "homework first" times and housework(dishes, dusting, vacuuming, cooking, etc). I also had to stay at my grandparent's house when they weren't home. (I was like this when I was 14)

In all honesty, if I had a fourteen year old child I'd prefer them not to be having sex, but if they were I'd rather they were having it in my home than doing it somewhere else. I really don't think there's much that can be done to stop teenagers having sex once they've started, and coming down like a tonne of bricks is probably only going to make them more determined. So I'd cut my losses and talk to them about it, I'd let them know I wasn't happy, and why I wasn't happy, make sure they knew about the consequences and about using appropriate protection - and also about self-respect and not just putting it about here there and everywhere. Hopefully some of it would sink in and we'd make the best of a bad situation.

You know this is the proverbial "recipe for disaster". I would place her in some kind of facility that deals with troubled girls because she is clearly not o.k. with herself or she wouldn't be doing this..and I'd do it immediately.

Okay: FIRST ... as is said ... 'The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.' While I agree that this 14 YEAR OLD child is 'out of control,' it is correct to more than suggest the entire FAMILY has a problem! No kidding! To this, it is absolutely 'demanded' that the ENTIRE family receive immediate Family Counseling. And I mean TODAY! The fact that a child -- repeat CHILD!!! -- is even 'allowed' to act out in this manner, let alone in ones own home, suggests that the literal roles of the parents and their subsequent actions of WHAT PARENTING MEANS with ANY child has become, at best, confused. At worse, it is not unreasonable to think the child IS 'ruling' the roost and the behavioral roles of parent-to-child, child-to-parent have been completely reversed. Since 'we' will all agree this IS a child and has not only 'no idea' of consequence of action, but one whose very BRAIN and body is literally still developing, it is unconscionable that 'parents' would not have dealt EARLIER with the most undeniably underlying issues, not just with the child, not just themselves, but as a 'family unit.' My heart goes out to you all! Relationships can be very challenging, especially those with our growing children. It is our literally our job, as parents, to TEACH while at the same time role model and behave with standards, values and common sense that are true for us all. I have witnessed many a parent who was more interested in being their child's friend, rather than their parent. Perhaps this arises from a parents own low self-esteem. However, regardless of cause, a parent can never be a 'good,' let alone great parent, one who makes all those really tough decisions for their children that a friend would overlook and never make just by the definition of 'being friend.' Honestly? Its not about sex. Its not about the child only. It is taking a conscientious, emotionally intelligent stand, drawing a line in one's personal sand on what qualities and characteristics we ALL need to demonstrate. Children as TAUGHT what responsibility not only 'looks like' but also what IT IS, the very real consequences-of-action we all face when we behave inappropriate to situation and circumstance. ARE YOU NOW GOING TO ACT AS IF YOU ARE THE PARENT YOU ALWAYS WISHED YOU HAD?

I would try therapy before sending her to a home. Think about the message it would send to her. My mom wanted me to go into residental treatment and it felt like she thought I was hopeless. A therapist can evaluate her and decide if outpatient treatment would be sufficent. You may even try a second opinion. I am not saying children should never be put in residentail treatment but it should be an absoulte last resort.

I would tell her to stop and tell her how I became a parent at 13 because of such behavoir. But in spite of it all, I would make sure she had proper birth control on case my pleas were not enough. If teens want it, no matter what they will do it.

As someone who did a lot of stupid things, I would get involved.

Get her help now before its to late. By counceling or a young girls home. Kids are to young for sex.

broken heart mom

call maury

You need to show this child who is boss, she obviously isn't scared of you. Show this child that there are consquences for actions and they do have to take responsiblities for these actions. Sometimes these actions affect the rest of their life, make sure your child is aware of this, and make sure that your child understands that people loose respect for them when they make these mistakes. It also wouldn't hurt to scare them a little, threaten to hire a babysitter or something.

I would talk to her about it, and encourage condom use as I would rather her practice safe sex. I know that she will continue to have sex if she so chooses and other than locking her up there is no way for me to stop her. If she is going to have sex I would rather it be in my home where she has a sense of safety than out in a field somewhere. Sex is a natural part of life and I see no reason to regard it as a taboo.

Install cameras. Never leave them alone. Talk to the other kids parents.

Once a young person has engaged in this behavior (It sounds like many times) they are probably NOT going to stop. Counseling Birth control talks Save up for the eventual abortion and most of all continue to reenforce that this behavior is unacceptable.

Put her in "time-out?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
