Hi all (-:

If there is a story you would like to share with me, please do, I appreciate and Thank you for your support. (-:

Uh, does your nation have any laws dictating the legal age of sexual consent?
Sexual consent laws determine when a person is legally ready, not the opinions of strangers.

What difference does it make when he has it.....he won't tell you lol....

Hello.

I am a single parent myself. I will offer you my personal opinions.

Your question is very broad as to suggest there is a simple answer. It is not simple. The human species has a lot of new brain development going on from about 11 years old until they reach about 22 years old. There is a great PBS Frontline series which specifically addresses these changes called "Inside The Teenage Brain". During this time, there are also the hormonal changes which define us sexually. The combination of these changes create a lot of emotional and mental stress.

I ask you to consider having a talk with your son and explaining your values about sexuality and love and relationships. This will be an awkward discussion but it will be necessary. There is a book I recommend called "The Good Vibrations Guide to Sex" which can be supportive to you and your son in helping him understand a healthy attitude towards sex and human relationships surrounding sexuality. I suggest you read it first and then use it as a guide for the discussion. Maybe just leave it out on the coffee table for him to read as he feels.

My best to you in your search and the challenges of raising your son. Feel free to post here or send a letter to me. I will be happy to give you some of my insight and experience. Perhaps we can learn from each other. I could always use another parent's perspective.
