my parents never had any dating restrictions on me, but i was really shy for most of my younger years so i didnt go on too many dates

as a 20 year old kid in college i know the things that happen

its so hard because parents dont want their kids to go out and get in trouble but let me tell you that if you hold your kid down and restrict their freedom then it will come back to haunt you. my parents tried to keep me home every weekend in high school until I was 18 and it gave me a really rebellious attitude that i still have today

obviously things are different with girls. parents dont worry as much about their son going on dates but with daughters its different. i really dont ever want to have a daughter seeing some of the things that happen every day. its definitely harder than being a guy

i would just tell a daughter to be very responsible and careful with what you do. girls are obsessed with image and reputation and the last thing any of them need is a nasty rumor going around about who did who

the best bet is to just instill quality values in the children. teach your son how to treat a woman. teach your daughter about responsibility. kids are going to do what they want when they want, and the only thing you can do is hope they are smart enough to do the right things

my parents never talked to me about sex at all or anything of that nature so i had to figure most of it out on my own.

it definitely starts in the home though. if a child sees a healthy parental relationship (husband and wife) then they too will look to obtain the same things in life.
