Great article, Heidi! I would also encourage parents to have these conversations at a young age. The first time I was ever propositioned, I was eleven years old (the boy was 12), and that was 25 years ago! My mother had had “the talk” with me only a couple months before. That was cutting it a bit too close, in my opinion. Yet, I know many people who still wait that long (if not longer) to have a meaningful conversation with their children about these issues. Children need to get their information from their parents before puberty hits.

Parents, if your teen is going through a phase when moral or faith-based arguments are unlikely to be persuasive, I’d encourage you to pick up a copy of Dr. Miriam Grossman’s “You’re Teaching My Child WHAT?: A Physician Exposes the Lies of Sex Education and How They Harm Your Child.” Written from a strictly scientific perspective (the doctor is Jewish), this book will give you ample ammunution about the SCIENTIFIC, health-based reasons for abstinence.

The boys are more to blame than the girls, we are the ones which are to be disposed with paternal graces. We are the guardians of the Redeemer and our graces should be kick in and this should never happen.
