I would have to agree, because as I teenager myself I love that my parents would put their trust in me and let me do such thing. I know that a lot of trust is going to have to be put into the decisions of letting your kids have coed sleepovers. As well as a lot of trust, but that is all part of being a parent. One should always think of their decision but of course parents should not worry if their child would be sexually active. I personally don't believe in stopping a kid from doing anything. Because if you don't let your kids do something because you believe that they would be doing something immoral, then it's your own parenting that you should be wondering about. Because one should never have to worry if they have raised their child, it's undermining your own authority. Trust your kids are what should be doing. I have to say that now at days kids are running with hormones, but then that brings me to the topic. If you raised your child good enough they wont do anything. So my answer to this would be go ahead trust them, don't doubt anything they do. Teenagers need their freedom and need to be seen as an adult that is a great step of showing that you understand them. By letting them have coed sleepovers, and in this case I would have to mention Shaina Azure. I agree with what she has stated, kids have found several ways to get with the boy/girlfriends. Which brings me to the topic of guys; parents are always saying how it isn't so simple to keep track o f your child. Where might they be? All guys aren't bad; you can trust guys, as well as girls. Letting a teenage kid have coed sleepovers and its totally safe. I have to state that nothing happens, because just two days ago my guy friends sleepover. Obviously a lot of trust was put on me, and I am happy that it happened. For that same reason I believe that communication could open up for a parent and a child, and a lot of stuffs will change. Most parents would worry about the descisions that a son or daughter make. You should just start thinking about the possibilities. To make my point clear teens no matter what should be allowed to have coed sleepovers.
