Okay, so the expectation of abstinence is unrealistic. What’s your solution? Have you quit telling your kids not to lie because they they lied? Did you decide your toddlers could exist entirely on cookies and candy because they preferred them to vegetables? Does your 14-year-old get to drink because he came home drunk once? I don’t think so.
You continue to fight the fight because it is important. I have two daughters. The older one got pregnant in high school, the younger one didn’t. I taught them both the same, I didn’t give up after the first.
Arguing that abstinence shouldn’t be the goal because it isn’t foolproof is silly and the sort of argument adolescents like to make. Maybe you grow up.
