It's interesting that I've seen many comments about him being at the age of consent.... But what if his girlfriend isn't? I doubt he realizes the risks of having sex with an "under aged" girl. I realize it varies by state but I know of an instance in Texas where a 17 year old had consentual sex with his 14 year old gf. Her parents found out, reported him, it was considered statutory rape because she was not the age of consent and now he is registered as a sex offender. It sucks but it's yet another reality that I am sure many teens aren't thinking about.
I think its crazy that he hasnt already been talked to before now. I mean shouldnt you have that talk with them before they got this age? Just my opinion tho.
Why risk knowing they are having sex probably not using protection? It's better to get there parents involved so they can put her on bc and give him condoms!
@sara102011 oh no I was not trying to put anyone down or just listen to one side. I'm sorry it came off that way. I just wanted to see everyone's thought on the subject. So if I came off being hateful towards the nays I am sorry.
@Gunners_mommy I didn't read all of the comments...so sorry if this has been said. But personally, I would tell your parents & hers. He might get mad but either way they are teenagers & will do what they want, regardless of if you tell or not. It's better that they have available options of birth control, condoms, & std tests to potentially try to stay safe, than be too scared or embarrassed to ask for any of the above. I say 'try' because God knows if birth control & condoms worked 100% I wouldn't be pregnant. Lol
@thehumancrockpot love your name!! Lol super cute. and yesterday that's basically what happened. I told my mom and she didn't tell him she waited last night until he told her.
@gunners_mommy, you are doing what's best for the safety of your brother honey. I commend you for that. As far as the negative comments, take them with a grain of salt.
Do u really think ur parents think he's a virgin?? I don't remember many 16 year-old boys n my hs who were and that was over 10 years ago. Honestly, they prolly already know, but think he at least uses a condom. And how do u know he didn't?? Did u search the trash or something? Cuz a lot of guys flush em.... Just sayin. I wouldn't say anything, because I have never been in that situation, so I wouldn't know how to react.
