This thread is making zero sense with the STW idiot filter app turned on - who's behaving like it's 1764, THM, ninfan or chewkw?
So how's about adding another post with even less?
What a bizarre one...
I can only dream of that happening though.
Actually, I'm not going there.....

My brother's step* daughter was pregnant at 14yo...
* would be step if my brother was married

is it his lol
Its a difficult one this and i hope i will be mature enough to deal with it when the time comes with my current 8yr old daughter.
I must admit it fills me with dread, however i have put in some groundwork to mitigate things as much as possible.
1) She has an older brother who is 4yrs older. There is also a close cousin who is built like a scrum half and both are very sensible. The hope is that any grief she gets into, these two will be sensible enough to keep an eye on it without me having to be overprotective.
2) I intentionally got her into a sport which IMO attracts a nicer charater trait than others. Honestly, some of the lads involved in climbing are a real credit to their parents. I know its a bit of a presumption, however if i must put up with some spotty oik turning up at my doorstep, i hope it is someone with similar interests to her own.
3) She is a daddies girl. We go to training together, we go to her competitions together. We do just about everything together as we both like the same stuff. When she gets to the age where i need to worry about this, i hope we are friends enough to discuss it, agree on what boundaries there are and the benefits of having me on side.
End of the day some kids go off the rails and get into trouble. You can only lead them in the right direction and hope they are sensible enough to get through it unscathed. However, i must admit that the Bad Boys scene will be running around in my head the first time a boy turns up at my house.
Of course not. The last time I looked there was limited capacity for a teenage girl to get another pregnant.
Whilst I appreciate that you do have a point with this you have to remember that it's not just the physical aftermath you have to consider, there is still an emotional aspect and it can be a problem whether the other person is of the opposite sex or not.
Some of the oinks at the bouldering could do with a lesson in etiquette Hobo.
My youngest soon puts them in their place though 😆
She takes no .... from anyone!
An aunt of mine (bit of a prude /old fashioned) wouldn't let her girls bring boys home and was shocked when one of her nieces was allowed to have lads round (only for dinner,mind).
Said she had no such worries with her daughter as she didn't seem much interested in lads. Was happy to have her daughters "best friend" round for the night, not realising her best friend was more than that... Both quite attractive girls.
There is also a close cousin who is built like a scrum half
So not in any way, shape or form intimidating to fully grown people 🙂
I have not read the thread right through so sorry if this has already been posted.
The Channel 4 European Sex Education programme was called Sex in Class, probably still on 4OD. Definitely worth watching and getting your kids to watch too.

Possibly, but I'm not too bothered about the sex aspect. Teenagers will be teenagers, and it's quite natural for them to explore their sexuality in whatever form. There's a big difference though between that and getting pregnant because some idiot boy thought he was too good to wear a condom.
How many girls told you they were "safe", dazh?

Ha! I should be so lucky! Not the point though really is it? What makes a teenage boy too good to wear a condom? There's no excuse at all, and it's that which would get my back up.
