Parents - Don't Ignore Talking to Your Kids About Sex

Washington Post Article Link: Sex at School Increasing, Some Educators Say

Upon finding students having group sex in the auditorium:

"Miller, the T.C. Williams graduate, said she didn't understand why adults were so shocked. "Our parents are the ones who had the sexual revolution, so why are they surprised?"
Parents at Osbourn said what happened in the auditorium went far beyond their own teenage activities, and some added that they were confident that their children would not get involved in such an incident.
"Maybe I'm a naive parent," said Ted Hauffe, whose son, Daniel, is on the football team, "but I will say my kid would never participate" in group sex." (Famous last words)

Even with sex as prevalent in the media as it is, most parents are not talking to their kids about sex.

Parents, please don't ignore this issue. Buy one of the many written books on sex from a Christian bookstore and learn yourself, and then teach your teen, your child. Start at nine or ten years old. Most parents are shocked to find out their child has been having sex. They usually find out through a pregnancy or in dealing medically with a Sexually Transmitted Disease.
