The other night, I discovered my 15-year-old son watching porn and didn't handle the issue well.
I practically screamed at him to get out, and he screamed back at me. Since then, things have been really awkward.
I'm strongly opposed to pornography, and I'm particularly concerned about kids watching it because I believe it will give them a distorted picture of sex.
I want my son to respect women and be able to create good, loving relationships, but having him watch porn has made me very uncomfortable.
Do you have any suggestions for how I should approach him?
So, instead of yelling at him, start talking to him. He's like the majority of teenage boys in that his hormones are racing and he spends a lot of time thinking about sex.
The difference nowadays is that pornography is so easily accessible over the internet that it is quite easy to grow addicted to it.
We all know that pornography promotes an unrealistic perspective of sex, but I believe you can discuss this with your son, as well as teaching him to respect women.
You can tell him about your concerns about pornography and even show him research.
Take the high ground here and have a conversation with him without making him feel uncomfortable.
