Trust and hormonal teenagers - really?

Yes of course teenagers can have sex anywhere paddyanne, but both sets of parents in this case decided it was a sensible thing to do, as well as talking to them. I guess it's called parental guidance. Something perhaps in short supply these days.

Chill!
I dated a 19 yr old when I was 15...plenty of canoodling in his car, never quite did the deed as he said he wasnt going to get arrested! Had some nice days out, was upset when we split up...we're still in touch on Facebook (both happpily married to others) so, no, his 'attentions' didnt scar me psychologically for life!

My teenage GD had a BF two years older when she was 14/15. It was all very 'serious' - first love and all that - but he had the sense to break it up when he had to go away for training. Of course she was upset, but is a very level-headed girl with plenty of interests (and GCSEs coming up) and has had at least two BFs since then. The grass doesn't grow under her feet! Anyone who refers to a 14 year-old girl as 'a child' evidently doesn't know many of them.

A fourteen year old is a child. That is a fact.

crazyh I read and answered bluebells post.

I don't think 14 is an age when she can consent to sexual intercourse so the young man should beware.

OP you haven't said what your DD thinks. Is she and her DP happy with the relationship? Has she described what the young man's like apart from being 18? I'd dig a bit deeper before coming to conclusions. Equally I'd invite both of them to supper/tea and make up your own mind.
