Teenaged psychology is a weird subject.
First, I'd like to state that there isn't a "right" answer. What works for one child may not work for another. Growing up, my mother was about as lax as could be. She was more of a friend than an authority figure. I waited until I was 18 to have sex (just because I felt that was the smart thing to do) and am now about to be 25 with no life ruiners-er, I mean kids. Meanwhile, in the same household, my little sister got pregnant at 17.
Based on my experience, I'd be inclined to
not shelter my children from things like sex, drugs and violence but talk as openly as I could with them about those things and the dangers involved.
