The letter, which was shared on Tickld, was apparently found propped up on the 15-year-old's bed.
TEENAGER OUTS RAUNCHY PARETS ONLINE, INSISTING 'THEY WON'T STOP HAVING SEX IN THE POOL'
It was simply addressed, 'Dad'.
With a chilly feeling in his heart, the worried father took in the fact that the room was tidy and all the mess had been picked up.
Then, with trembling hands, he opened the letter.

It read:
Dear Dad
It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing to you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with mum and you.
I've been finding real parrion with Stacy, and she is so nice, but I knew you would not approve of her because […] she is so much older than I am.
But it's not only the passion… she's pregnant.
Stacy said that we will be very happy… we share a dream of having many more children.
[And] Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone. We'll be growing it for ourselves, and trading it with the other people in the commune, for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want.
In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS, so Stacy can get better. She sure deserves it!
Don't worry, Dad. I'm 15 and I know how to take care of myself.
Someday, I'm sure we'll be back to visit, so you can get to know your grandchildren.
Love your son, Joshua
Our mouths just hit the floor.
But, thankfully for Joshua's father - who we imagine was tearing his hair out at this point - there was a postscript.
It read:
*P.S. *
Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Jason's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life that the school report that's on the kitchen table.
Call when it's safe to come home!
We have a feeling that Joshua had to wait a LONG time at Joshua's house for that call - what a little terror!
