Should I do something about it? I don't care if she's turns out to be lesbian or not. I just want her to be happy. But I think she might be making a big mistake.

As a woman who is very secure and comfortable with my sexual self, I must say that I am glad I experimented a little. My being OPEN MIND made me more responsible. I was with a girl for 2.5 years and I am sure alot of people thought I was going to be a lesbian forever... But it was just a phase. If you try too hard it's going to confuse the poor girl. When Miss Thayng and I broke up I was devastated. The most devastating thing was seing my family so thrilled that the relationship was over.

If the issue is the person she is flirting with (and not the gender of that person) then you need to remember two things: (a) the more you push in one direction with teenagers, the more they go in another. Don't drive her into the arms of someone you don't like by making that person a "cause" for your daughter. Lighten up on how you talk about her and use some subtlety. (b) kids can understand common sense and sincerity. Talk to your daughter with respect and share your ideas with her, but don't nag her. Sometimes we learn in the college of hard knocks. Just be there for her and she will be fine. I bet you are a great mom. Also, look for a local P-FLAG chapter near you. This is a support group for the parents of gay kids. I am a lesbian and I deeply appreciate your kindness to your daughter, what ever her sexual orientation may turn out to be.

As a 15 year old friend of 4 lesbians [not one myself] I don't think it's that big of deal. Well, I should, I'm a christian, but let her do what she wants. You can't make all the mistakes for her, she has to learn from her own.

Ask yourself if you would be having an issue if she was having sex with a boy? In my opinion, if she's too young to be with a boy, she's too young to be with a girl...regardless of the chances of getting pregnant.
It always seems to be difficult to discuss sex with a child, but it is important to make sure they understand your concern. The experimentation (if that's all it is) may or may not become an issue for her in the future.
I have a very close friend that experimented when she first went to college. Now she is married to a great guy and is very happy. She recalls her time in college fondly and as a learning experience, though she has no desire to be with a woman again.

That.grew to become into.Hilarious. I enormously enjoyed how the daughter wrote down in simple terms about all those fairly terrible (or maybe unlawful) issues in one among those nonchalant way! while doubtful, i think of that this may well be a means that any pupil ought to apply while providing their mothers and fathers with their record card- while that's undesirable, besides (in any different case i would not propose which you're taking the possibility of giving them a heart-attack). advantageous one!! :)

Lately they all do it. My 15 year old cousin said she was a lesbian last year now at 16 she has a boyfriend. She needs to do what she needs to do. It could be a mistake but often thats how people learn who they are and what they really want out of life.

All that there is really to do is to be there for her if it does not bother you then the next best thing for a parent to do is to support, being there for her will only make things strong between ya'll she will like coming to you bc of the fact that she knows that you will be up front and behind on whatever is going on in her life and there are not mean mothers like that...

No, I Wouldn't Worry About It Right Now. She'll Grow Out Of It. I Think Every Teen's Doin' It.

I experimented as a teenager, and now I have a man and kids. She needs to find out who she is. Just give her some privacy, if you but in you will just embarrass her and make her rebel.

She's a teenager. We all go through a stage in our lives where we want to be different or try something new. As long as she is not hurting herself, leave her be. If you try to interefere it will only make things worse, and could cause a state of rebellion. Try talking to her about it.
