Hey guys! Check it out! Slimshaydee has singlehandedly written the authoritative creedo on parenting! If you're not the age of your child, you can't possibly understand what she can do or where she is in her maturity, so don't parent her at all! Let her do anything she wants! Only another 16 year old can know what's best for a 16 year old!
Wait, no, that sounds pretty stupid when you think about it, doesn't it
Look I'm not approaching sex from a puritanical perspective. In fact, I'd feel comfortable wagering that no one on this board will do so. Puritanical anti-sex freaks don't tend to frequent a board on which pornography is available, ya know?
I don't really care if people have sex outside of marriage. Fine by me.
Where I start to care is when children are doing things that should be in the realm of adulthood.
Sixteen year olds are by and large not mature enough to make responsible decisions about sex. How do we know this? Look at the example right here in this situation. She had sex, got pregnant, then stuck her hand out for cash. People who are mature enough to handle sex 1) take precautions so they greatly reduce the pregnancy risk and 2) do not go running to their daddy the minute they find out they're gonna have a kid.
