And as you've said, your experience is ...Right. And as you've said, your experience is just that: yours. I wasn't anywhere near ready for sex at 14 either, but each person gets to decide that for themselves. <br /><br />My parents did a LOT of things wrong, but they never shamed sex and they always told me that when I was ready, I needed to be responsible enough to get contraceptives--and that's nothing to be embarrassed about. I'm thankful for that.A.

As for ...I wouldn't call Kris a bad mom at all. As for me personally, my mom taught me that sex is an act of love and educated me on what could happen, etc. At 14, sex was the last thing on my mind, as it was until I was almost 20. Of course I had urges but I knew that just because I had sexual feelings didn't mean I was ready to actually do it. I knew I wasn't ready and in my mind, since I wasn't ready to deal with the possible outcomes (pregnancy or std), then I shouldn't be having sex. So personally, I just can't imagine what goes on inside the head of a 14 year old who wants to actually consider having sex. It's an adult topic so for a child to want that, is just confusing to me BUT I applaud her for going to Kris about it. I remember how hard it was for me to tell my mom I had my first kiss at 14, let alone telling her I wanted to have sex. So I think it's good that she had open and honest communication going, and I think Kris was probably scared to death, as any mom would be, but you really can't control your child. All you can do is educate them and hope for the best, which is not to say that Kris didn't do that. I think putting Kim on BC is probably a good choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
