45 and a parent
What possibly qualifies you to give advice about the sexual mores of teenagers...other than you were, up until recently, one of them
I think that I could raise most children better than 95% of the population despite not being a parent.
If you want more evidence, no one in my family (we'll say all the way up to my great-grandparents, including cousins, etc.) has ever:
-had an unwanted pregnancy
-had an STD
-been arrested
-been homeless
-committed suicide
-failed a class
Everything I'm arguing comes from what my parents have instilled in me, and they in turn got it from their parents. Seems like pretty good parenting to me (if you want to call it brainwashing, go ahead).
