Does liberal parenting often end up in teen pregnancy?

I’m pretty liberal when it comes to everything with parenting — EXCEPT education and dating, where I can be a hardass.

I’ve noticed, of my relatives, the ones who were loose about those two things with their kids ended up with teen pregnancies. They thought they could be friends with their kids. “My kid can tell me anything,” they’d brag. I’m much more reserved — I want to give the impression that there WILL be judgment should my kid get in with the wrong crowd.

When it comes to sex, should you be a friend to your kid or some stodgy hardass?
