Get her butt on the pill or better yet, the shot. Now that you know she's active, you need to have a full screening done to make sure she's not infected with anything. 15 yo's are notoriously careless.
Grounding her isn't going to solve anything. She'll just find ways to do it behind your back.
Sex education is the key here. And keeping better tabs on what your kid is doing, with whom and when.

Put her on the pill, and talk to her. Tell her that you don't agree with her decisions and lay some ground rules. No sneaking out in the middle of the night, under no circumstances will you allow her to have sex in your house, no boys over, etc. She's already started and there is no way to stop her from doing it now. Be clear that you are not condoning her behavior, but that you want her to be protected. If you try to keep her from seeing boys, she will only retaliate by having sex any place possible. This happened to my friend in H.S. Her mother monitored her every move and she ended up getting pregnant by having sex in the bathroom of the gas station across the street from the school.

My daughter is 14 and your story is one of my worst nightmares !! I'm very impressed that she trusts and loves you enough to admit that to you....way to go mom !! Put her on the pill as soon as possible and rather than ground her, (which will probably back-fire on you) keep a closer watch on where she goes and who she is with. Have a serious talk with her about the consequences of her actions and exactly WHY you think 15 is too young. Have her tested for STD and HIV (that might bring some consequences closer to home for her) and I'm wishing good luck to you both

Your child almost sounds like she is rebelling, don't lock her up. If anything, sit down and have a long, mother-to-daughter, talk with her. Educate her on the consequences of sex and having several partners, STDs, birth control, and things like that. Don't isolate your child from the world, but constantly know where she is at and what she is doing is my advice to you.

Put her on the pill, better safe than sorry.
Talk to her..don't scream, don't yell, just TALK and explain that your upset that she's had sex and that she never came to talk to you about it.
(Maybe she waited till now, because she was scared or not sure how youd react).
You can't ground her untill shes married...Thats unrealistic.

Put her on the pill and explain to her that it doesn't prevent STDs. Also explain that it is only 98% effective in preventing pregnancy.

Talk to her about different options, let her know the extreme importance of using condoms, and PLEASE don't be mad at her or judge her. I'm 38 years old and still have sexual problems because of how my parents treated the issue when I was young. Sex is not dirty or wrong. It should be fun and fulfilling...
