Lux AlptraumHonestly shocking to me as both a one time high school sex educator and a one time teen how many of you don’t believe that teens deserve privacy
Teens are not children! They’re simply not! Are they adults? Nope! But they’re in an in between development stage and they deserve an age appropriate amount of privacy and autonomy in order to practice our being adults.
“But what if they fuck up?” Yeah I mean that’s how people learn shit.
Collin Beyer@luxalptraum fucking up could mean catching mono and regretting wasting your vcard. Maybe if parenting was better kids wouldn't rush into zero sum relationships that have a shelflife of a month or so. We need to teach our kids the difference between a real life partner and one night stands. If parents communication was better kids wouldnt ruin their love life. If they truly want a one night stand then thats fine too but they need to be given condoms and good advice. Making sex illegal encourages
Ash Rose@haplessidiot @luxalptraum Rushing into bad relationships is part of being a teen though, because you have all these feelings and you don’t know the red flags yet. Parenting is about teaching good emotional intelligence so they pick someone better next time
Also “v-cards” aren’t real and no one would care if society didn’t fetishize virginity so much. Mono or STIs are a bigger danger but proper sex education that doesn’t fetishize abstinence and virginity is the only way to prevent that
