You can't follow them around 24/7.

And I'm not saying they shouldn't support children if they do have underage sex, but the choice of 'support' should really be down to the child in question. If they believe they're receiving sufficient support from a separate entity, why would there be any need to tell or involve their parents? As I said earlier, enabling parents access to confidential information that their children might not want them to know is quite a dangerous game, and could worsen problems, not make them better.

Of course parents are going to be concerned, I understand that...but surely you'd rather them receive necessary advice/help than hide it all?

They sh0uld be informing their parents because their parents are legally responsible for the child until the child is old enough to be responsible for themselves.

But thats the problem with the modern playstation generation, fast food instant gratification, then when the going gets tough they hide behind the fact they are still children.

They want to be treat like adults have all the rights but none of the responsibilities. Sorry but life doesnt work like that, once you are out on your own in the real world you will understand, especially if you do one day become a parent, that may sound patronising, I apologise if it does, thats not my intent. Lots of youngsters think they know how life works, but believe me even at my age and experience some areas of life dont come easy.

Enjoy your childhood while you can, do childish things dont be in too much of a hurry to grow up and become an adult, sex will still be there when your body and emotions are capable of enjoyig it to its fullest extent with minimal risks.
