Im 30 years old, 4 daughters, 9 old, 7 twins and 5 old, as i see they´re growing cant stop in thinking that one day i´ll had to face the reality, girls are very easy nowadays, the world its very diffrent now that in the past, for that reason i was thinking that sports and education are the solution, maybe volleyball or soccer for them, so how can visualize my daughts in a few years? what kind of strategies should i use to prevent this possible situation?
Thanks for your time

Just keep them buisier then shit after school! Two way parenting is key & lots of comunication is key. Also, No one undermines the rules, ie u & wife. If both of u aren't on the same page your kid is going to pick the easy target. Hopefully that will keep them clear of most of the shit, but in the end acept the fact that are gonna do what they want & shit from pier pressure. Nowadays kids have little respect of there parents ! .. at least in the usa nowadays.
sorry my spelling sucks but it's the truth.

lock then in the cellar, it's the only way!! ....ask Josef Fritzl.
Im 31, and have a 16/17 year old stepdaughter which I call my own, and I'm the only dad she's ever known. I've had it all with her, from catching her using the wifes vibrator, secret boyfriends to talking dirty on the Internet and being groomed by a paedo, which I thankfully caught in time.
Luckily, I'm still in touch with the youth of today, and am naturally very suspicious about things, like an internal sensor for wrongdoing. Plus I'm very technology savvy, so I've monitored her as much as possible from 13. I've eased off over the last year, she's entitled to privacy, and she's got a steady-ish boyfriend.
Luckily we're very open about sexual matters, I'm never shy about anything, whereas her mom is, so she comes to me with questions and issues, something I'm overjoyed with. I believe openness and the giving of knowledge is a powerful thing, and an important tool in bringing up kids. I'm thankful, and happy, and 100% certain she is still a virgin, and will remain until she's ready, which will probably be soon.
I think you have to roll with things, listen, lay ground rules, punish rule breaking, but encourage individuality and certain freedoms and liberties, and hopefully if you've raised them the right way, when you let them go they'll turn out to be something you'll be proud of.

I don't know why, but this thread has somewhat of a creepy feeling to it.
However, I will put in my two cents. Education. Education about sex, std's, pregnancy, safe sex, and sexuality...all of that is key. Don't be too strict with them, but you still have to set boundaries and if you threaten punishment for something, you have to follow through with that punishment.
I laughed at the Fritzl comment.
But really, all people are different, and while your counsel will steer them in one direction or another, you can't prevent them from being who they want to be. They'll be shaped by their friends, classmates, television, the internet, teachers, and their own personalities. Good luck trying to shape a person like they're a lump of clay. (It won't work).
Patience and communication are the best ways, but they're not perfect, and won't prevent the girls from doing things you don't want them to do.
I agree that education is of the utmost importance, and not just sex education.
Help them develop their intellect as well: they don't have to judge their self-worth based on what boys think of them. Help them to know that their importance isn't based on looks. To wit: view the comments on this website regarding pictures of women over a certain age, or without the 'perfect' body. Granted, most of these asinine comments are mostly written by young, immature guys, but these are the ones who will be after your daughters! They're the ones who will pursue your daughters, use them, and then post pictures on various websites because they think it's fun.
