SEX- What to do when preaching abstinence doesn't work
I absolutely hate this topic- but it's real and it happens more often than most parents care to admit. I have been talking to my kids about sex since well before they were teenagers. Sometimes it seems that simply suggesting abstinence from something stimulates more desire (in people of all ages). How do you win when that is the case? Obviously the next step is to teach responsibility- the goal being proactively preventing unwanted pregnancy. Somehow, that seems like failure to me. Is it?
