Question:

Should I tell my parents we're having s*x?

by | earlier

I always hear my friends talking to their parents about them having s*x and idk getting information and whatnot, but my parents are very against pre-marital s*x. I'm 16 years old - which I KNOW they think is too young. I use protection and I'm smart about it, but should I tell them or keep it a secret?

they'll find out eventually, cuz you know, most people have s*x...

but i wouldn't tell them unless your mom asks you (say no until you're moved out) or you get pregnant...otherwise, i wouldn't tell them yet

might freak 'em out a little

Ask about birth control, ask your doctor to mention it if you are nervous. Make sure to talk to your mom, maybe watch the new tuesday night ABC family series with her. "secret life of an american teenager" to open up the conversation

ummm....i would talk to them about it just in case something happens and its not a double whammy for them

just be mature and respectful about it

I think you should keep it to yourself, unless something serious comes up like unplanned pregnancy or something but if not, just make sure you be careful! safe s*x is great s*x!!!

good luck

ummm,wot do u think of ur parents ?

are they the type to advise you and tell you what to do?OR are they the type to you know ..tell you how wrong you were in havin s*x(stuff like dat)

in my opinion,it depends on ur comfort ,are you comfortable talking to your parents about this stuff??try to think of how they'll react...

go by these feelings

im sixteen also. i lost my virginty at the age of fifteen. i eventually told my mother because, i just couldnt hide it from her anymore. at first i was so pissed at myself that i did. because i thought she would kill me. shes a very religious lady and is also against pre-marital s*x. but she just told me " your getting older, and i cant be with you all the time to make sure your making the right choices, i just have to trust that you will learn from it and hope for the best" which is not what i expected to be said. i did loose some trust and she did get a little more strict. but she does still have a little trust. i mean, i still have s*x. and i still sometimes deny it. but she knows that i am. but your parents cant just keep you away from situations that envolve you and a guy being alone. IF YOU THINK YOUR READY THEN TELL THEM. and if you dont think your ready, to have s*x, then you should stop before you get carried away. =] peace and love. - Jayden E. Tarver.

whatever makes you feel comfortable is what you should do. the main thing is that you're using protection.

wow, tough call. keeping secrets from your parents would be something that I would not advise. in your case, due to your circumtances, i think it would be in your best interest to be discreet. if they find out before you are 18, be honest, and show how responsible you have been by using safe s*x practices. Until then, or if your protection fails, enjoy what you have been experiencing.. be safe, and be happy

you should tell them

how would you feel if you childern were having s*x and kept it from you.

just make sure you tell them your using protection ( it might help make them feel better)

Probably not if you think they'll be against it. It's good to be open but if it could have really bad consequences for you then don't.

if your parents will ask you about that thing, just answer them directly..if they don't open that kind of question, you should shut up and wait for them to ask.

your the legal age i think they can't stop you follow your heart and if your a Christian you shouldn't be having Premarital s*x but if you want to then go right ahead i'm sure you will regret it

Hey, that's the exact same thing with me! Except i'm 15.

I wouldn't tell me family no matter what, they ask and i lie.

But, idk how it is for you. Your parents might be more understanding then mine. Mine would call the the pastor of the nearest church, ground me for life, and(try to) make me stop seeing my bf.

Anyway, if you think that they'll be halfway okay with it then if they ask straight up "Are you having s*x?" then tell them. But till they ask, keep it a secret!!

If you think they'll do like my parentals would, then keep it a secret. Lie if they ask!!

Well thats entirly up to you. You know your parents and know what their views on pre-marital s*x so you know what the outcome will be..

I wouldnt tell them unless they asked me directly "have you ever had s*x" then i would say that yes i have but im responsible about it.
