Oh yes they are! Don't let let the fact that they are girls disuade you from placing blame on them. As a father of a 16 YO pettite blonde girl, I can tell you they are just as bas as the boys. Some are even worse.

Fear of very long term stifling punishment is a good thing for teens. It needs to be reinforced now and then to keep the fear fresh and overpower the teen drive. I put her on the pill anyway. I have no dilusions ill be able to win that fight forever.

15? im sure a lot of us were doing the same things or dreamed about. So..might just have to educate him more?

kid is gonna get it in no matter what. he did not tie them up and force them into his bedroom. i see nothing wrong, he will just do whatever he was gonna do somewhere else at some other time.

My first time was at 14... nothing my parents could have done to stop it. Thank God I had sense enough to use protection.
Point is, simply telling him (or her) "NO" ain't gonna work. He wants to act like a man, just make sure he understands the responsibilities that go along with being one and the potential consequences of his actions.
