Sex and Teens Pregnancy

When Jamie Spears admitted that she is pregnant, everybody was shocked and just couldn't understand how at such a young tender age, can she become a good parent to the baby. Every parent's are discussing this hot topic with their children especially parents whose children are a fan of hers. What sort of a role model will she create for these kids. So the question is when is the right time to discuss the topic of sex with our teenagers. How should parents do this freely and without embarrassment. What should the approach be? What should we say and what sort of attitudes should we try to create in them?

To be realistic, young people are going to experiment with sex. They always have and they always will. It's silly to pretend that they won't. And up to a point, such experimentation does no harm. It's only when it passes the point of no return. The point where complete sex relation so become inevitable or actual that the parents and society in general have deep and valid cause for alarm.

Next, it's worth reminding yourself that youngsters are always in a state of rebellion. Each generation has to break away from the preceding generation, find itself, establish its won way of doing things and looking at things. We did this in our own youth. Our children's children will do it to theirs.

Will it helps to tell a youngster that you are aware of his resistance to rules and you understand it because it's perfectly natural and all of us have our share of it.
