SHORT COMMUNICATION 172
Parents Need to Know

Parents, please, it is time to listen to some very gooed advice. It is much worse out there than you think. You have to get involved and pay attention to your own teenager’s secret life and particularly you daughter’s. Computers have changed everything, and it is not for the better. Start your involvement immediately. Get your child’s computer set up outside the bedroom and preferably where you can monitor what is going on at all times. Check your child’s computer out when the child is at school or away from it. Here is the reason why.
Recently, two mothers who are good friends decided to check out some links on their teens’ computers while they were at school. Mother A got very upset when her suspician was verified. The strong suspician was that her 15-year-old daughter was engaging in oral sex. Mother A contacted mother B and recommend that she do the same. Mother B had her suspicion verified that her 16-year-old son was involved in pornography viewing on the internet and exchanging information with a friend. It was a crash course in their teen’s secret life and parents need to know.
Mother A called her daughter’s school counselor and explained the situation to her. Mother A got shocking news from the school counselor that it is very common for girls to give oral sex to boys in grade sis before they have sex later in grade eight. One girl told the counselor that oral sex takes the place of the goodnight kiss and that they do not consider oral sex as sex. One girl said she had oral sex at age 15 and knew lots who also had it. Teens consider oral sex as “safe” sex and a safeguard of their virginity. The counselor emphasized that it is not all that safe, and that her daughter look up oral herpes online. It is a common STI (sexually transmitted infection). Mother A went from shocked to extremely worried.
Mother B got shocking news also from the counselor that internet pornography is commonly viewed by teenagers as well as adults, and that it is protected by the constitution as free speech. Mother B had her suspician confirmed when she read her son’s internet post. All mother B can do is let her son us the computer only outside the bedroom and under her supervision.
Two mothers found out disturbing facts about their child’s secret life. They also found out that the American culture is much sicker than ever imagined, and that their children were part of the sickness. When it comes down to morality, parents have a perfect right to invade their children’s secret life before age eighteen. The two mothers found out what too many mothers are oblivious to and have decided to do their best to spread the word about what can go on in a teen’s secret life. Oral sex and STI’s are a definite reality and very common.
Internet pornography, teen oral sex, and teen sexual intercourse is absolutely so morally wrong, harmful in many ways, and a sickness throughout America’s culture. Teens are the future of America’s culture, and morally speaking and considering the future of America’s culture appears to be very bleak in a very big way. Counselors already know that. Parents need to know that, also.
