I have 2 little daughters and just the other day my husband and I were talking about realities of life, this topic being one of them, and how we could protect our daughters. I know Shikra doesn't want this thread to take a religious turn so I won't go there, but I think if from a very early age we could be best friends with our children and create an environment of trust between us, maybe my girls could trust us to discuss what's on their minds or what other girls are doing and their influences and inclinations. Maybe as parents we could be more invloved in their lives not to the level of being wickedly inquistive but sharing our values. I guess a lot has to do with the temperature at home and the example we set as parents, the kind of social set up we have and what we do in our spare time. If kids are invloved in healthy activities they may not get distracted that easily.
