Good points Perna. I remember like it was yesterday, what it like to be 13/14. It's true for some reason, they don't think of consequences. I had a brief boyfriend and thought it was fine lol. Luckily after that I didn't date until I was 18. Looking back now, I wouldn't think it's fine to have a boyfriend at a young age.

I talk to my girls about my own experiences. I was like you - I didn't have a clue what I wanted to study either. I think teaching kids starts when they're old enough to understand - private parts are called that for a reason. I've always emphasized good morals. It doesn't help when there's shows like Jersey Shore and other bad role models. Some girls call each other 'b***hs' and they're not being mean. Most of the images on Facebook aren't of sweet kids smiling, it's with a smirk and a gangster attitude.
