What can you do to keep your teens from doing adult activities?

I think best thing is to get them friendly with them and win their confidence like a friend and to have strict behavior like a parent. Today the children are much more smarter and they can understand the things easily provided they should be taught in a friendly manner, logically and actual facts without exaggerating the things! n my opinion things only will work like this ! Thanks!

They will do it when they want to regardless of trying to prevent them from doing it. There is always peer pressure and they listen and talk to their friends. All you can do is keep the lines of communication open and hope that they come and talk to you. Definitely talk to them about birth control and STDs that is so important. You have to trust that they will make the right decision.

I think that in childhood I must make my children respect and not go into adult activities when they are teenagers. I think that the school show videos about living and acting safely it will help. I wouldn't want my daughter to get pregnant at age 16 or 17 years old. I wouldn't want her to catch any diseases from the bedroom. My disabled son might be able to join a club for special needs adults when he reaches 18 years old. I don't think he will be into adult activities because he is really sensible. I wonder if his wife will be a disabled lady in a wheelchair.

*shrug* It really depends on the kids, to be honest. Scare tactics like that might work with some, but others are just going to roll their eyes and say yeah, whatever you old fogey. The best thing we can really do for them is make sure that they know the consequences and the things they can do to avoid those consequences. Abstinence education just doesn't work. It's negligent to assume that kids are going to avoid things like that just because you tell them to. Teens' brains aren't finished developing, and they don't think about things the same way that adults in the late 20's and beyond do. They just don't have the capacity. It doesn't mean that I think it's a great idea, approve of it, or that I'm going to make it easy for them to do. But I fully accept that my kids are autonomous beings who make their own choices and occasional mistakes, and I'd rather offer them the support they need to make sure they take care of their own health than shame them over perfectly normal parts of human sexuality or give them reason to hide things from me.

With the generations today I do not know what to do to prevent them from happening but we can always prolong it from happening by educating our kids. Also important is for them to be open to parents so that if they have questions, they got to ask us and. Or other peers

Educating them early about "IT" will help them understand and be more aware.

I told mine their lives would be ruined forever. harsh? Maybe but they have both vowed to wait until they're married so apparently it worked.

I don't know how to keep them from doing IT. My Oldest one is living with her boyfriend, she is 24 years old but I still don't approve, but we still see each other when we can, she lives across the country in college. My other one says she will wait until she gets married she is 21 and also in college, I just hope and pray that what ever choices they make are the right ones.
