I don't see the problem with it. But then sex is legal at 16 or older in the UK.

Exactly! I was pleased with this. If you watch the videos, some of the kids are more apprehensive about it than the adults. I thought it was funny.

also a good point about teaching young adults to drink responsibly (I'm sorry but I don't agree with the 21 drinking age, and regardless of legality people are going to drink before 21) good way to make sure your child is safe is to keep them at home, where they won't get into trouble, drink and drive, etc.

this article really doesn't mean much of anything. it didn't cite any statistics that the practice is widespread or on the rise, they simply cherry picked three parents who allowed it and interviewed them
if you looked hard enough through the U.S. population of over 300 million, you could find three families that allowed their teens to smoke crack in the family home
i suppose it does have some worth in that it looks at some of the benefits/issues involved with the practice, but those were kind of self evident
it's honestly an example of desperate ratings-driven journalism and sadly demonstrates the manner in which the media is going about making itself irrelevant

They made sure it was done responsibly.
Personally, I had my first drink at 14. I actually asked my dad, and his response was "As long as it's what you want to do, and you're not being pressured into it."

That guy in the video who says "you don't drink in my home, you don't bring home a girl or a boy and close the door and run around in my home, it's the decency and sanctity of what we call home" is a massive hypocrite lol.
So where has he been *** their mom?

My thoughts too. I would have been to a lot less field parties and woodsies if that were the case. My father is pretty much a right-wing-grass-roots-Christian-conservative. If only he knew what was going on during high-school and college.

Parents have issues with their kids having sex these days? Wow, I'm out of the society-norm loop I guess. Only seems responsible and decent to let your kids have sex in your house.

I didn't share for that reason, Sev. It's just an interesting view on parenting. Anyone who thinks that their teens aren't experimenting at that age are deluded. Why not keep it in a controlled environment?

The teenager's reaction to it was more surprising to me than the parents reactions. I think it's the smart choice really, but the teens perspective threw me off a bit. I guess I'd tell my kid something like "I'm not encouraging you, and I really, really don't wanna know about it, but I'm not going to try and stop you. So if you're planning on having sex, and don't interrupt me to say whether you are or not, I'd prefer you to do it at home in your room. I'd just like to know you're doing it somewhere safe and being safe."

i agree that the view is worth sharing. i guess we just look at it and see different things. as a former journalist, it's hard for me not to look at an article that is journalistically poor, even if it does raise interesting points, and get up on my cranky old man soapbox about the decline of the media :(

Or maybe he's single and would get butthurt over his kids getting more than he is.

Certainly beats a lot of other sensationalist filler stories they could be putting there. Like my local news station tonight was obviously short on stories... They showed a youtube video of a car in Russia that was doing a stupid overtaking maneuver and almost crashed into a few cars. Seriously Channel Ten, wtf?

My uncle got caught when he was 15 screwing this girl at her house.
Their parents locked him in and called his dad. His dad drove out there and was like
"ok, what did he do?"
"He was in here messing with our daughter"
"Did he break in?"
"No"
"Then you need to tell that little *** to close her legs and stop letting guys in your house"
Lol my uncle said his and everyone else jaws just dropped.
Then he was like
"Pablo, how did you get here"
"I rode my bike"
"K you can ride that ***home then, can't believe I got woke up from my sleep for this ***"

True. I'm not a fan of 'Good Morning America', but it's more or less just ambient noise during my morning routine.

Quote: "I think … it was more of the attitude, 'Well, kids are going to do it anyway. Why not make it so that it-- it's in a comfortable, safer environment,' as opposed to in a woods," she said.
Oh fine, let's get everyone to stop having forest sex. Yeesh. Why not discourage mountain sex and ocean sex while we're at it? Prudes.

Odin.Liela said: Since I don't have children, I can't really say for sure what I would do. But it seems like it would be safer, not only because the environment itself is safer but because if the teen had questions/concerns, they'd be more comfortable asking their mom or dad.
I grew up in a completely opposite household. We weren't even allowed to have a friend of the opposite sex in our room, even with the door open. I once stayed up after my parents went to bed as a child, and when I had to go to the bathroom it was all dark outside my room. I was scared of the dark and began crying. My older brother heard me, came and got me from my room, took me to the bathroom and waited outside, then took me back to my room and tucked me in. And in the morning we both got in trouble-- not because I had stayed up past my bedtime, but because my brother had been in my room. My own brother, not allowed to help his baby sister when she's scared of the dark. Ridiculous.
As such, knowing how little my parents would understand or feel compassionate about, as a teen I would never have asked them anything sex-related. Ever. I'd rather hear it from eavesdropping outside the boys' locker room or reading gossip magazines. How much more comfortable and well-informed must kids be who have parents who understand and are compassionate!

a journalist should document impartially, not try to make policy
they didn't get that shout out in the constitution so that they could advance their own agenda, but so they could act as the fourth estate they were meant to be
that holds true even when i happen to agree with the agenda they promote
