CNN on Abstinence

"When broaching the topic of teens and sex, it's never too late to talk about abstinence. Whether you feel strongly that sex before marriage is wrong or you simply want your teen to postpone sex until he or she is more mature, explain your feelings to your teen. If you share the reasons behind your beliefs, your teen may be more likely to understand and adopt your values," says the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research on CNN.com. They bring up an excellent point. If you discuss with your teen the importance of abstinence in your life and your moral beliefs, maybe your teen will be willing to consider your moral values as their own.
