if you think your teenager is making a mistake in their choice of partner, or slipping into sexually active relationship before they're ready, try not to explode or start laying down the law too heavily. For someone in their teens, being ordered by a parent not to do something is usually the single best reason for doing it

Yes I agree fully with you that such matter cannot be resolved forcefully. When the child reaches at the age of 14 or above, parents ought to make friend rather than dictating the child. When parents put their points to children as a friend, there is much chances of effectiveness/obeying the suggestions. Whereas when parents say anything forcefully or in dictating way, the children refuse such suggestions, even they are good. So parents must avoid dictatorship. Each of has to pass on such life style one day or other, even parents have done like this in the past. So let them keep free. Only need is there to keep them informed merits and demerits. My only request is to parents of teen-ager children to say anything in friendly way, matter will be resolved.
