The issue of sexuality

Well..for one..in my personal opinion..a child should not be kicked out that young. I know that the parents were angry and didn't agree with what the daughter did..but kicking her out is really just giving her the chance to do whatever she wants and that's not so good. Parents are responsible for their children here until they are 18. If she commits a crime..the parents are the ones that will have to stand good for it. I think that I might have been very upset at the fact she was promiscuous at that age and would probably do the same thing as if I had caught her with a boy..talked to her about her actions and the implications and then grounded her from life for quite some time. That's just me though.

Well, I don't really know how I would react in that situation. But I know I would be appalled. The parent must have been really shocked, I mean who wouldn't be? So she must not be thinking straight at the moment to kick her daughter out of the house immediately. Well, the daughter did something terribly wrong but kicking her out of the house was drastic. It would be just fair and reasonable to talk about it, because as a teenager, her daughter might be confused of her sexuality. A 15-year-old is still in the stage of finding her identity and pleasing the peers. She needs guidance.

Since she is a minor, I think that she might get into trouble with the law. I wouldn't kick someone out of the house. The best thing to do is to talk it out and work things out that way.

kicking the daugther out will just add to the problem. though this kind of reactions are natural for parents who are shock. then they will realize later on, that, was not a good idea. sometimes parents tend to be very busy that they no longer see what happened to their children during the crusial years. i good sit down and talk will really help. the daugther can voice out and the mother can voice out too. from whatever the outcome of the talking then they need to adjust from that. just my opinion.

I don't think she was right, you should love and accept you children no mater what, she didn't commit any crime, she is not a serial killer, I think this mother didn't obviously read any book of how to educate children, she would have known that at that age kids are experimenting, it is part of the growing up process, and even if this would have been the orientation of the girl, this is not a crime, and this rejection is going to mark that girl forever.

I think that her mother should not do that. She hasn't really known the reason for doing that. I know what they did was very Immoral.. Maybe her daughter is going through an Identity Crises.Moving her out could not solve the problem and it could worsen it.. I hope your friend could understand this she might also be the reason why her daughter could become a certified lesbian.. I hope that I was able to help out... :)

I don't think it was the right thing to do at all. I think that parents should love their children unconditionally. People are going to plot their own course in life, and their families need to support them.

She was wrong to do that. She basically disowned her daughter for sleeping with a girl ONCE. Seriously. Sexuality is budding at that age, and it's only natural for teens to explore it...but why bother being an understanding, caring, compassionate parent...right?

well, i am not homophobic. i have two best friends who are gay. it's fine if you are that way. just not my kids. i would be completely devastated ! that would hurt me more than anything in the world. i wouldn't disown or kick them out of the house. i would just do everything i can to make it go away. they say you can't, but i would try with EVERYTHING i have, as if to say i was saving their lives. i think i would be saving their lives. now, i can think that way because those are MY kids, and i can hope and wish for them as i please. just like everyone gets to choose their sexuality, i get to instill whatever values i want to in my kids. i don't understand why people from alternative life styles feel like they can rule what parents teach their children. that's my only problem.

My comment about it would be first is to try to find out first what's the reason she's sleeping with that girl? Or maybe the host was just trying to be accomodating to that girl? It is wrong to kick a girl without a valid evidence of a sin or wrongdoing. Kicking a girl would only worsens the scenario and would add to emotional trauma that lasts for years. If I'm in the same situation like this, I would be very cautious in my judgement whether to reprimand or take matters in my own hands. Careful evaluation of the current situation must be exercised first. Lastly, don't rely on your own wisdom.......we are all imperfect creatures.

That is a terrible way to react to finding her daughter in bed with another girl. That is not going to help the situation its only going to make things worse for the 15 year old. How can a parent kick their own child out of the house? Aren't they afraid of what might happen to them. Just because this happened its not the end of the world and the mom reacted very inmature if you ask me. Instead of having a discussion with her daughter and letting the daughter explain her thoughts and feeling she does something so stupid to kick her out. I surely hope the mother and or parents wake up and try to help their daughter and if she is gay deal with it. There are so many worse things in the world. The parents need to wake up and take the blinders off.

Kicked her out of the house? That seems harsh. How is that going to help her daughter? Did she do it just to punish her? Was the mother embarrassed? I would have reacted differently because 1) I don't think it's so much worse than had she been with a male and 2) I don't think parents should kick there kids out of the house. This woman may have had a different angle or reasoning behind it, but I think it's ussually selfishness that motivates people to do that to their kids.

From what I understood here is that the parent just is not intune with his daughter. Also he did not pay attention to her during her growing years. At age 15 it is natural for some kids to stay confused about gender issues and at the same time stay curious. But this does not mean those kids are spoilt. If the person was a good parent first of all he would have stayed friends with her and help her go through this confused period. And now that he has kicked her out of the house proves that he is not at all a good parent.
