Of course times are changing and what was once a good rule is not necessarily a good one anymore. Despite the golden rules and their seemingly old fashioned senses, some are really quite useful even now. Times may changes but people really do not change. Biology doesn't change.

Although it may sound old fashioned, teens really should not have co-ed sleepovers. This could really be a disaster waiting to happen at any rate. The number of teenage parents out there are staggering. Although once really cannot say that they end up ruining their lives but they sure make it a few times more harder. Even though it does not really matter how hard a parent tries, teens are going to find a way to be with a crush they really like. The same goes for sex without protection. If they really wanted to try this, they will find a way. A co-ed sleepover only seems to promote these events. It contradicts what parents do not want to happen to their teenagers.

Some parents may be quite capable of dealing with co-ed sleepovers and having them run smoothly. It's when the parents are not supervising the events which can be quite frightening. When the parents are away, here is what is happening.

1. Alcohol and possibly substance abuse. These are quite frowned upon and no parents wants their kids mixed up with drugs. No parents want to deal with alcoholic kids either. When Alcohol and drugs are thrown into a party, it's a disaster every time.

2. Seven Minutes in Heaven. This one is not too horrible since seven minutes only really gives a couple of awkward teenagers time to make out in a dark closet. Still, not what parents want to hear.

3. A completely trashed house. The parents come up the driveway and in the house to find that that $2000.00 leather sofa has been stained with alcohol. It is completely ruined and the floors are littered with empty chip bags. That really nice family heirloom that was once a vase is now scattered all over the floor in shards.

4. Rainbow Parties. Parents should really be afraid at this point. The girls each have their own color lipstick and the goal is for the boys to get as many girls to perform fellatio on them. The boy with the most colors wins. Sounds fun, hmm?

5. Sex. Most likely performed in any bed in the house.

In conclusion of all of the above reasons, I do not agree with co-ed sleepovers. In the event that there are to be co-ed sleepovers, supervision is absolutely required.
