If anything good can come out of this mess- I hope that it will lead to discussions with kids about sex. I'm raising my boys to respect women- no matter what they are wearing. I think many Christians get caught up so much in modesty, and not causing others to stumble, but they don't focus on teaching their boys that no matter what a person is wearing, they aren't opening themselves up to rape or molestation. They put their heads in the sand and think if we don't tell them about sex, it won't happen. Hopefully the people who need to hear this message are hearing it.

I just had a whole discussion with my son last night. He called me to Pick him up from a party where he felt inappropriate things were starting. Apparently there was a girl there who chases him and he's not interested. He's told her but she doesnt care. He also knows that she doesn't want 'him' because she does this with everyone. He wanted to come home because he could see the others were starting to pair up and he panicked he'd be left alone with her. So I picked him up and we had a nice chat.

And raise your children -boys and girls - to know that no means no and that adults/teenagers are never allowed to touch children 's penis, vaginas, bums, and breasts.

OP, I agree! I also teach my girls to respect boys, just as you teach your sons to respect girls. I figure respect from both ends is very important part of any relationship.

Keep an open dialogue with your children so they feel comfortable asking questions on any subject.
Donning my McJudgeypants:
- don't parade your children on national television
- don't dry hump your partner on national television
- don't make jokes about incest on national television after molesting your sisters
- don't make your older children raise your younger children
- don't cast the first stone unless you are without sin. Live and let LGBT live.

I agree! I'm Christian but feel like you can't rely on your clergy or youth leaders to handle these topics. As parents we have the responsibility to teach our kids and have HONEST and REAL discussions about sexual matters! We know our kids best and hopefully can develop an open line of communication. I want my kids to be comfortable asking me or talking to me about anything. (And so far they have.) Simply saying to them "don't do this because it's bad or wrong" is stupid and unrealistic.

I should add....under the children are old enough/ mature enough to understand and consent, if they choose to. |

This made me laugh only because a friend of mine told me a story years ago. He had taught his children the very same thing. When he took his youngest son in for his sports physical and when the doctor did a hernia check the boy punched him and screamed "don't touch my privates!" Thanks for the memory. |

We have talked about the duggars and now Nicoli's thread reminded me to talk to my 18 yo ds about sexting or nude photos between him and his 16 year old girl friend. They are both still high schoolers but I forget my ds is technically an adult now. Puts a different spin on things. Sigh. It's a scary world out there.
