Survey for parents with kids ages 14-19?

Question

Do you ever think, if your kids are virgins?

explain

Answer 1

I know my 14 yr old daughter is... I know where she is all the time.... now age 18 and up ... they are now adults and can make their own choices.

Answer 2

more like the ages 11-13 now a days!!! when i was 12..my classmate at school had 3 miscarriages...and after school i would see some of my classmates smoking cigarettes outside while waiting for their rides..and in the bathroom...

Answer 3

I know my kids 12,14 and 16 are still virgins, and I want them to be until they get married at the right time.We are devoted roman catholics and I always instill to my kids that the greatest gift to give to their spouse on their wedding night is their virginity.I think what's important is to have open communication with your kids,and if they are into a relationship you should make it a point to know who's they're dating with and to talk to that guy what are your rules in dating your kid.If that person truly loves your kid then the guy will respect you and your kid as well.You should also discuss with your kids about the consequences of having sexual intercourse at an early age.

Answer 4

I just turned 15 when i lost it i was with they boy for almost a year and my mom asked me and i openly told her what was going on and she put me on the pill.  I am glad that me and her have that kind of relationship (im still with the guy i lost it to its been over 3 years.)

Answer 5

I know for a fact that my teenagers have lost it. I permit it in my home so that I can be sure they are being safe! My kids and my husband and I talk about s*x openly and because of that my kids have no problem asking me if they could have some condoms or go on the pill etc... I would not have it any other way. I was a teenager too... and I got into trouble. From day one with my kids I was honest and open with them and while I do not pry into their lives they come to me for advice.

Answer 6

Neither of mine are. s*x was always an open topic in our house, along with with relationships, friends, peer pressure, family issues etc. I always made sure my girls knew they could come to me with any issues or questions they had without having to worry about me yelling or being disappointed. I always told them that I would listen like a friend but give advice like the mother I am. Did I want them to lose their virginity in high school? No, I would have prefered them to wait until they were older and found someone they truly loved etc. They knew this, but NEVER did I say that they HAD to wait and were GOING to wait. I'd be wasting my breath.

Both of them came to me at different times to ask me specific questions and to talk about s*x, seeing an OBGYN and going on the pill. I'm glad that I know that it's already happened and they they're using protection rather than wondering what they're doing and if they're being safe.

Answer 7

I have a very open relationship with my daughters and s*x was never an uncomfortable topic to talk about. I know which of them are virgins and which aren't, for the came to me when they were thinking about having s*x and when they wanted to go on the pill.

Answer 8

No because my daughter and I have an open relationship and she has always been able to say things she has done but she knows better than to have s*x...plus I keep her close by me.

Answer 9

Hey!

I'm not a parent, I'm 21 years old, and I had s*x for the first time when I was 18. I never told my parents (I was an adult and responsible and smart enough to make my own decisions).

I think that, as a parent, you can't always knoe where they are or what they're doing. If they don't want to tell you things, they won't... Teens are pretty sneaky. So you want to make sure that you give them space and make them feel comfortable enough to come to you if they ever had any problems or questions.

If your adolescent son/daughter wants to have s*x, they will! And you can't help it. But what you can do is make sure they're informed so they can make the right decisions. And if they want to be sexually active, then you can't help it, but you can help them be safe. If you have a daughter, ask her if she would like to go on the pill for example, it'll be good for her to know that she can confide in you without feeling pressured and overprotected.

A lot of parents think that talking about s*x with their kids is promoting it, and it is the very opposite of that. Parents that are open with their children about sexual issues and ensure that their children are well informed and sexually educated, their children are more likely to wait until later on or until they are ready to become sexually active, because they have the tools to make the right choice. On the contrary, those whose parents are too overprotective, always wanting to know what they're doing, or parents who don't wanna talk about it at all, because it's 'taboo' or because they think that because they talk aobut s*x-they will go out and do it - it's the opposite!

Answer 10

not really.

Answer 11

OK im not a parent but im 15....I am a virgin....but Im telling you teens hide things very well and they never open up. Since me being raised and being a Christian I never would and never had, but there are many who have had s*x before marriage and I know they terribly regret it and talking to their parents is the last thing the want to do.  I dont even like kissing and for me its awkward...I have a boyfriend that I met at church and school and its very uncomfortable in front of my parents but just sit down sometime and talk to them. Its awkward but you can always personally ask for the truth...but dont get mad at them if you get an answer you dont like...amke sure they know its not the best....and that God wants it for marriage and that condoms dont stop diseases and that if they healthy children someday then save it and be PURE!

Answer 12

How is this a survey?

Answer 13

My daughter is 17 and a virgin.  She's confided that to me and I have no reason to doubt her.

Answer 14

Not mine. My mom and I have a very open relationship, and she has made it clear that when I am ready to have s*x, I can talk to her. My parents can know without a doubt that I am still a virgin, because they trust me completely.

That's what it comes down to with us. Trust. They trust me to make good decisions and to be honest with them. I trust them completely as well. I trust them to let me make my own decisions, but I also trust them to offer any advice, opinions and concerns they may have, because that is how they will best protect me.

I'm not ready to have s*x, but when I am I will talk to my mom, and she can know that I will tell her. She can also know that I will wait until I am absolutely ready, and that no one can pressure me into doing anything I am not ready for.

Answer 15

I know my 17 year old isn't because we've been talking about s*x since he was little.  When he and his girlfriend had been dating a year and a half, he came and asked if I would buy condoms because they were considering having s*x.  About six months later (when they did have s*x), he told me.  Now she is on the pill (she told her mom too) and they still use condoms too.  Not 100% safe, but it's the best option out there.  If you want to know what's going on in your kids' minds (and in their bedrooms), you have to talk to them.

Answer 16

i have no kid reaches the age of evan 5 so idk.sorry

Answer 17

I'm pretty sure both of my children are virgin. [[11 & 15]]

Answer 18

Some of you parents out there are really naive. Let's face some hard facts: 1. Most kids (even younger than 14) are having some kind of s*x. 2. Most kids this age will not talk to their parents about s*x. At least not truthfully. 3. And there is nothing you can do about it.

We can try to do many things...lecture them, watch them closely, prohibit them from certain situations, etc.. But in the end, they have hormones, they have desires, and they have opportunities. All we can do is hope they listen to our advice that we should have been giving them since before puberty.

Answer 19

I have a daughter in that age range and hope to God she and I are close enough that she would tell me if she was even thinking about it so we could discuss protection. The last time we talked about s*x maybe 3 weeks ago she still was a virgin...so she said..She is at the older end of your age range so...Oh Good God Now Im Worried!

Answer 20

ya, parents do because this generation is very different than what we had long time ago, for someone to have "s*x" is a cool thing in school (mainly guys). That's why alot of parentstend to give their kids "The talk" around 10-15 years of age..

Answer 21

My instincts say they are telling the truth when they say they are virgins. My oldest will be 18 next week and is very particular about boys and touching, and we talk very openly about birth control, sexually transmitted diseases and how to talk about physical pleasure with a partner. My son is 14 and says he is really not ready  and feels that being committed to your partner comes first.

Answer 22

I dont have a teenager, but my mom would have sworn on her life that I was a virgin until I was 21 and told her different.  I started having s*x at 15.  Some of you people who just Know your kids are virigins...   I think there was someone else above that mentioned it...  Kids hide things like this.  Even if you do have that awesome open relationship, unless you are physically with your child 24/7, you dont know.  And just because you may know everywhere you children go, or think you know, doesnt mean that they havent.

Answer 23

I know my eldest isn't because, well, we talk about that stuff.

Do I condone the fact he isn't, no but I am content enough w/the fact that he respects me enough and feels comfortable enough w/me to discuss such important parts of his life.

Answer 24

Any parent who doesn't worry about their kids' virginity (and trying to keep 'em a virgin as long as possible), aren't very responsible parents.

Answer 25
