Being the parent of a very difficult teen I can say it's dang impossible. Any parent who says they know where their kid is 24/7 is not being real IMO! One of my DD's friends is a JW & her parents are very very vigilant & gorgeous people. By chance I saw her popping into a boys house (I happen to know the boys Dad and this boy is 18!) in a very passionate clinch... I phoned the Mum and told her as I pulled over up the street (cos I would expect anyone to do the same for me). She said: "no way she is at abc's house... 15 mins later she was at the door dragging her now no longer a virgin daughter (at 14 away)... Mortified at what was happening...
It's tough. They sneak out in the night etc etc. All we can do as parents is instill good values, be good role models, be responsible for our actions and emotions & live with virtue... The rest we cannot control...
