I would let my 13 year old go on group dates, with friends known by me.



I would let him or her go on a date in the afternoon, but be home by 9pm.



He or she could have a boyfriend or girlfriend as long as I know who they are and meet them.



I would not allow them to be alone with their boyfriend or girlfriend, for simple reason I know hormones at that age can be out of control,



Let them go to a G or PG-13 Movie



Have a You Tube account with supervision.



I would allow her to keep the baby but insist the boy take responsibility for the baby too.



I would provide birth control for her and condoms for him but would also pray that they would stick to the same Christian Foundation I am raising them on.



School nights 9pm and Weekends 11pm with knowledge of where they are.

I'm not a parent yet but I already know what I am going to do.



1. Go on group dates? - Yes. It isn't really a date yet.



2. Go on single dates? - No. Not appropriate.



3. Have a boyfriend/girlfriend? - I would encourage them not to. Kids don't need that kind of drama at such a young age.



4. Spend time alone with their boyfriend/girlfriend? - NO WAY! That is just asking for trouble.



5. Go to the mall alone or with a friend? - As long as I trusted them to stay at the mall.



6. Go to the movies alone or with a friend? - Same as the last question.



7. Watch R-rated movies? - If I had seen it and thought it was acceptable or they were watching it with me and my husband.

8. PG-13? - Most of them, yes.



9. Unrated? - Even I think most Unrated movies are stupid or disgusting. No way.



10. Get a You Tube Account? - That's iffy. If they had proven to me that they were responsible.



11. If your 13 year old daughter got pregnant would you make her get an abortion, put it up for adoption or let her keep the baby? - Abortion would be out of the question. I want her to own up to her mistakes. It would depend on our financial and family circumstances if I would want her to go the adoption route or not.



12. Would you give your 13 year old condoms, birth control pills and teach them about safe sex or teach them about absistance? - I would teach them about abstinance. Premarital sex is not something I want my kids getting into.



13. What is your 13 year olds curfew? 9:00 on school nights, 11:30 on weekends, unless there is a special occasion.

I don't have a child, but I'll take it based on what I was allowed to do at 13.







Go on group dates? Yes.



Go on single dates? Yes.



Have a boyfriend/girlfriend? Yes



Spend time alone with their boyfriend/girlfriend? Yes



Go to the mall alone or with a friend? Yes



Go to the movies alone or with a friend? Yes



Watch R-rated movies? No



PG-13? Yes



Unrated? Definately not.



Get a You Tube Account? Yes, as long as the videos are appropriate.



If your 13 year old daughter got pregnant would you make her get an abortion, put it up for adoption or let her keep the baby?

That never happened to me, but my parents probably would've had me get an adoption. If I really wanted to, I might've gotten an abortion, but I would've rathered an adoption. Give the baby a chance.





Would you give your 13 year old condoms, birth control pills and teach them about safe sex or teach them about absistance?

My parents talked to me about sex, but not much. They sort of allowed the classes in school to teach me. They made if pretty clear that they didn't want me having sex. They told me that abstinence was a good idea until I was older and in a stable relationship. They did not provide me with birth control pills or condoms. I had sex at 16 after being with my boyfriend for 4 years.



What is your 13 year olds curfew? I didn't have a curfew. My parents just had to know where I was and with who.











I had a lot of freedom. My parents trusted me and didn't want to restrain me. I was also considered very mature for my age, most people thought that I was 17 or 18.

Would you let your 13 year old...



Go on group dates? maybe, it hasn't come up yet.



Go on single dates? with like the opposite sex? I would if I drove them where they were going and it would only be a couple hours.



Have a boyfriend/girlfriend?yes



Spend time alone with their boyfriend/girlfriend? No



Go to the mall alone or with a friend? No - maybe while i shopped somewhere else in the mall and met them later.



Go to the movies alone or with a friend? sure



Watch R-rated movies? no



PG-13? yes



Unrated? no



Get a You Tube Account? no



If your 13 year old daughter got pregnant would you make her get an abortion, put it up for adoption or let her keep the baby? I would try to talk her into abortion, if that didn't work, adoption. If she didn't want to do that I would want to send her away to live somewhere else. but i guess i don't know unless i was in that situation. but i would NEVER feel the same way about her again and would be thouroughly disgusted and dissappointed in her.



Would you give your 13 year old condoms, birth control pills and teach them about safe sex or teach them about absistance? no



What is your 13 year olds curfew? don't need one because i always know where they are, usually at home.
2009-01-28 12:30:49 UTC
Group dates: Eh...maybe.

Single Dates: No.

Have a bf/gf: No.

Spend time alone: No, they know where babies come from at that age.

Go to the mall alone: No, they can go with a friend.

Go to the movies alone: No. He/she can go with a friend.

Watch R rated movies: Eh...it depends on the movie.

PG-13: Well, yeah. We are talking about 13 year olds.

Unrated: Uh...no.

Abort/Adopt/Keep: I don't know. I probably wouldn't until I was in that situation.

Sex ed: I would definitely not give a 13 year old condoms and/or birth control pills. I think that'd send the 13 year old the wrong idea. I would try to teach them, though.

Curfew: They can't really drive...and I would hope they wouldn't have a bf/gf that could. So...they wouldn't really need a curfew. But if I /had/ to set a curfew it would be 7pm so they could to their homework and stuff.



Get a youtube account: No.
2009-01-28 12:26:52 UTC

If your 13 year old daughter got pregnant would you make her get an abortion, put it up for adoption or let her keep the baby? If i had a choice keep it just to teach responsibility you make it you take care of it



Would you give your 13 year old condoms, birth control pills and teach them about safe sex or teach them about absistance? We havent had the talk but probably safe sex most teens rebel against parents and will do it anyways

2009-01-28 12:40:51 UTC
I'm 14 so here's my restrictions

I go on group dates and single dates with my boyfriend who my parents have met. My parents and his have both met. I don't really spend time alone with him unless it's at anpublic place. I always go to the mall alone with my friends. Without an adult. I do the same at the movies. Even with my boyfriend and we watch pg13 or lower in theatre because that's all we can get into. But at eachothers houses we've watched r and unrated movies. I don't have a YouTube account just because I'm not interested in having one. If I got pregnant I'd have to keep the child. I don't bellive in abortion and adoption us too weird. My mom has taught me about safe sex and stuff. It's a very open subject at my house. Me and my 15 year ok sister have both tlked with my kim anoutnit. No we don't have condoms or birth control from her. Although i'm getting on the pill for cysts monthly it veery painful. My mom doesn't set a curfew untill she knows exactly what I'm doing and who will be there how I'm getting there and back and stuff. Normally it's 10 though

Go to the mall alone or with a friend?yes



Go to the movies alone or with a friend?yes



Watch R-rated movies? yes



PG-13? yes

If your 13 year old daughter got pregnant would you make her get an abortion, put it up for adoption or let her keep the baby? i'd make her get an abortion or put it up for adoption. she needs to stay in school, not take care of a baby.



Would you give your 13 year old condoms, birth control pills and teach them about safe sex or teach them about absistance? i'd teach them about safe sex, but i wouldn't give them birth control pills or condoms because they'll think i'd be okay about them having sex.

Well, I'm only 14 myself so obviously I don't have a 13 year old but I'm going to answer your question anyway.



Would I let my 13 year old go on group dates...No.



Would I let my 13 year old go on single dates...No.



Have a girlfriend/boyfriend...No.



Spend time alone with their boyfriend/girlfriend...No.



Go to the mall alone or with a friend...I would let them go off with a friend if I were their somewhere too and they didn't leave the mall.



Go to the movies alone or with a friend...Alone, no. With a friend yeah, sure.



Watch R-rated movies...No.



PG-13...Of course why not, their 13.



Unrated...Depends on the movie.



Get a YouTube Account...Yeah who doesn't have a YouTube account, I had one at 12.



If my 13 year old daughter got pregnant I would NOT make her get an abortion I am completely against abortion. But I would make her give it up for open adoption. Their is no way a 13 year old is ready for a baby and she's not dumping it on me. And with the open adoption she could see her baby whenever she wants and she knows who it's with and everything.



I would teach them about safe sex. I would tell them that absence is better and tell them that if she got pregnant I was going to make her give it up for open adoption. Giving them birth Control and condoms is alittle extreme. Maybe when their 15 or so.



They would have to be in by 9.

I would let her make her own decision and support her with that. I would try to be supportive even if I didn't agree with her decision.

Would you give your 13 year old condoms, birth control pills and teach them about safe sex or teach them about absistance?

I would not give them condoms or birth control because I don't think they should be having sex. I would teach them all about sex, and remember, it's not SAFE sex, there's no such thing. It's SAFER sex. I would teach them everything and abstinence and the consequences of having sex.

What is your 13 year olds curfew?

I would just ask them to tell me where they were going, what they were doing, who they were going with, and what time they planned to be home, if they had proven to be trustworthy and responsible.

Answering In order but remember all parents are different and have different veiws and opinions im basing my answers on my parents (im a teen myself) And how I would act upon my future children:



Group Dates: Yes

Single Dates: No (unless I know the boy really good and have several phone numbers on him and his family.)



Have Bf/Gf: Yes ( I would prefer to meet him if he's just a crush I don't want to get involved in it)



Mall: I would let him/Her go with a GROUP of friends with the least being 2



Movies: I would let her/him go with a friend(s)



R-Rated Movies: Yes...(As long if it isnt porn thats sick)



PG-13: Yea I been watching PG-13 since BEFORE I was 13



Unrated: I would have to cheack it out



Youtube Account: Yea, but I would cheack on it randomly not everyday though like every two weeks



If my teen was pregnant, I would'nt make her get an abortion it's her choice, If she wanted to keep it, I would get temporary custody of the baby until my teen is 18 and is well enough to take care of her own child. I would give my teen birth control and teach them about safe sex when he/she turns 16 but until then it's all about absistance.



Curfew: 12-13 (Outside: 7:30 Bed: 9:30 on school days,they can go to bed whenever on weekends)

14-15: (Outside:9:00-9:30 Bed: I would think they are old enough to manage their own bed time so they are held "responsible"



16-17 (Outside:10:00) Bed: They are held responsible.

My son is not 13 years old, he's only 1, but these are my answers if he WAS 13 :) Or for when he turns 13.



Go on group dates? Yes! When I was 13 years old I loved hanging out with my friends and I know how it feels to be locked in the house all night; so yes.



Go on single dates? Sure. I lost my virginity at 13 and had my first heartbreak at 13, so I know how love feels and I know how badly your craving for a love at that age; so why not :)



Have a boyfriend/girlfriend? Of course. As I said above; I know how it feels when your parents don't let you have a boyfriend and you feel so lonely, so yes..let them explore the world.



Spend time alone with their boyfriend/girlfriend? Yes, I was allowed to hang out with my boyfriend when I was 13. But I would want the door open if it's at the house.



Go to the mall alone or with a friend? Yes, definitley. Like I said above, let them explore life, don't keep them locked in the house all day & night, let them have fun while their young and have no worries, because it flies by.



Go to the movies alone or with a friend? Yes. I see nothing wrong with that.



Watch R-rated movies? Yeah, why not lol.



PG-13? Duh if I let them watch R movies lol :)



Unrated? Same as above!!



Get a YouTube Account? Sure..why not.



If your 13 year old daughter got pregnant would you make her get an abortion, put it up for adoption or let her keep the baby? Let her keep it. I got pregnant at 15 years old and I know how it feels. I would be there for her throughout everything and never let her down. Yes, it could possibly be a struggle for not only me but her too, but I wouldn't do something like that to her. I'd let her keep it, because it's an awful feeling when your parents turn against you and your pregnant at such a young age.



Would you give your 13 year old condoms, birth control pills and teach them about safe sex or teach them about absistance? I probably wouldn't teach them about absistance if they didn't want to keep their virginity for marriage (which most kids don't these days). And yes, I would probably keep condoms in the house and if they asked I'd let her get onto birth control.



What is your 13 year olds curfew? No curfew; I just need to know where they are and have me pick them up when they're ready to come home.

These are just my opinions, it depends on the childs grades and maturity level, as always... For 13 year olds...



Group Dates- Yes



Single Dates- No



Boyfriend/Girlfriend- Yes. You can't really stop them from calling themselves that title.



Alone Time- Depends. Not in their rooms. If you mean, going roller skating in the rink or something, sure.



Mall- no



Movies- I'd make sure it was with a friend, or more than one friend, and I'd want to know when the movie got out so I could be waiting.



R Movies- No



PG 13- yes



Unrated- Depends. I'd have to see the movie first and approve.



Youtube- Yes, so long as it was one that blocked the inappropriate videos.



I couldn't make my daughter get an abortion; that's illegal. I would hope she would get an abortion.



I'd give my kids condoms and such on entering high school, [14 or 15] and teach them to the best of my ability about safe sex, how waiting is always the best option, and STDs.



I would set the curfew at 9 PM.

I don't have a 12-13 year old child, but I am gonna take this about my cousin Rachael.



1) Yes, as long as there is a parent around somewhere.

2) No. Not till she is 16.

3) Yes, as long as its not serious and they can only hang out at home when there is a parent home.

4) No!

5) Not alone, but with friends yes.

6) With a friend, depending on the movie.

7) If she watched it with me.

8) Depends on what its rated that for.

9) No.

10) Yes, as long as they aren't putting too much out there.

11) I would make her give it to our aunt who cannot get pregnant but really wants a baby. So the baby would stay in the family.

12) I would teach her about safe sex, abstinence wouldn't be appropriate because I know that she will never wait.

13) Her curfew is 9. As long as my dad knows where she is.

Legally, a 13 year old wouldn't be allowed in an Unrated movie. If a 13 year old goes to a movie theater and asks to see the R rated movie, the person is supposed to ask them for some ID. Sometimes they don't, though. Sometimes they just let them go.



If the person selling your kid a ticket to the movie lets them buy a ticket to the unrated showing, LET THEM GO.



Your kid should be able to do all of the above. But I think you're getting a little bit paranoid about what your 13 year old will do. When I was 13, I was not at all ready to have sex. I masturbated like nobody's business, but I didn't want to have sex. I wasn't ready for that. Most 13 year olds aren't.



I didn't have a curfew when I was 13. However, my parents did not like me to call them for a ride when they were already in bed. Maybe before you go to bed could be their curfew?



As for the baby thing, let her decide. Educate her on what exactly will happen if she has a baby. She can make her own choice.



If you don't let your son or daughter have a boyfriend or a girlfriend, that will just make him or her want to do it more. Of course you should let them go on single dates, they won't do anything stupid! You should trust your kid. Don't leave them alone in the house. They can be alone in a room when one of their parents is in the house. They can go to a movie together or go out to eat together. I wouldn't allow my 13 year old to have his or her girlfriend over when me or his or her dad wasn't in the house.
ohh snap!
2009-01-28 12:41:51 UTC
Im not a parent of a 13 year old im 18 i really wanted to answer this question because i remember being 13 and wanting to do a lot of stuff my parents objected to because they wanted to keep me safe this is what my parents did and i was always safe and made a lot of great friends and knew what groups NOT to get into in high school and i did this on the girls side of things





Would you let your 13 year old...



Go on group dates? yes.



Go on single dates? yes. but a parent should drop them off and pick them up



Have a boyfriend/girlfriend? if you try to make her not have a boyfriend its going to make her want one more. just drill into her head she is special and needs to be treated right and at that age relationships dont usually last long



Spend time alone with their boyfriend/girlfriend? Yes and no. If there at the house make them stay in a room that is open where you can check up on them. If there in her room the door should stay open



Go to the mall alone or with a friend? yes shes 13 she does need to be social you cant keep her locked in the house and if shes with a group of friends you know then dont worry again just drop her with them and tell her what time you'll be there to pick her up



Go to the movies alone or with a friend? not alone and thats weird if she was to go alone.. if you know the friend then again just drop her off and pick her up at that age everyone who was in middle school hung out at the movies and it was always a good time to hang out with friends outside of school



Watch R-rated movies? depends on the movie



PG-13? there rated pg-13 to allow 13 year olds to watch them



Unrated? no



Get a You Tube Account? no



If your 13 year old daughter got pregnant would you make her get an abortion, put it up for adoption or let her keep the baby? She is a person and you have to allow her to make her own choice on this all you can do is tell her your opinion shes human and has feelings you cant force her into an abortion if she doesnt feel that it is right and so on



Would you give your 13 year old condoms, birth control pills and teach them about safe sex or teach them about absistance? you should deffinitly have the talk giving her that stuff is a little extreme you want her to trust you and be open with you when she is interested in that hopefully she will come to you let her know that at that time you would really want her to come to you but if she cant come to you there are other places to get protection



What is your 13 year olds curfew? It depends on what there doing if there at the movies with friends or on a date you pick them up after the movie when there at a friends youll pick them up i would say 10 on weekends that is what time movies usually get out also mall would be 9 because if its like where i am the mall closes at 9:30 and the people you dont want your daughter around will be outside



Thanks!

If I had a daughter that age...



Yes

No

Yes [If they are their age and only go on group dates]

Hmm... depends where, how much I trust her, if she is responsible and If I like the guy.

Yes

Not alone

Probably. My mom has always let me watch them and it hasn't been a problem for me.

Yes, of course!

Probably but look above AND depends on how mature she is.

Yes

Let her keep the baby if she was ready and adoption if she didn't want it. Though I might get attached.

Yes

It would be different every time depending on where she was, who she was with etc.

i'm sorry, i'm not a parent, but here's what my parents did for me.



they didn't know it, but i started going on group dates when i was 12. it was me, the boy i liked, and all of our mutual friends (in total like a group of 10) going to a movie. we didn't do anything, except we held hands once. scandalous, right? :) i would let my daughter go on group dates, with lots of people, during the day, at the same age that i did.



not go on single dates at 13. i would save that for 16 or so, but also depending on her maturity and if i liked the guy or not. i started going on single dates when i was 14, but it was just to go get coffee and the coffee shop down the street from my house during the day. but it was just me and my boyfriend.



yes, i would let them have a boyfriend/girlfriend, as long as i liked the kid, and we had already talked about safe sex, relationships, dating safety, etc. (see below).



spend time alone, yes. at our house at night alone? probably not. but i don't see the harm in letting them go get coffee or hang out at our house without me in the room. i started doing that when i was 14.



go to the mall with a friend, of course! same with going to movies with friends. go to the mall and to a movie alone, yes, as long as they had a cell phone. my parents let me go to the mall alone when i was 12, movies alone when i was 13. i also had a cell phone and i'm really mature for my age, and it was always during the day.



r rated movies, yes, depending on what they are rated r for. if it was for like, graphic violence, maybe not, but for language or something, of course. i sort of disagree with the rating system. i saw my first r-rated movie when i was 13 (little miss sunshine).



pg-13, of course. i saw my first pg-13 movie when i was 7.



if by "unrated" you mean nc-17, no, probably not. "unrated" movies mean that they don't have a rating--it doesn't always mean that they're bad. i haven't seen an nc-17 movie.



youtube, i don't really know. i would check what they were uploading and looking at. i would let them have a myspace or a facebook, if they wanted one though. i'd check up on that too.



if my daughter got pregnant at 13, she would be getting an abortion, hands down. if she really opposed it, we could go volunteer together at a shelter home for teen mothers. i volunteered at one once, and it made me not want to have sex until i'm 45 and married. and i think it would change her mind about keeping her baby.



of course i would teach them about safe sex. i've already decided that my children will have a box of condoms in their bathroom, and if i have a daughter, she will go on the pill, because i never want my children to have to go through the anxiety and pain and suffering that i did as an adolescent about pregnancy scares, etc. i want them to be so educated about safe sex, relationships, dating, etc. that they could outsmart a planned parenthood educator. knowledge is power, and as a teenager, i can safely say that sex education does not make kids go out and have sex. it informs them about what to do to protect themselves if they choose to. because it is, after all, their choice, and their body.



when i was 13, my curfew was 10 pm.

I've always let my girls wear bikinis. As long as it's an appropriate one, I don't see the harm. It's a lot easier to go to the bathroom in a bikini than a one piece!
