is that " i5" supposed to be 15 or 5? I assume it's 15..... then yes let her, if she's sexually active. if it's 5, then get real, not even funny.

Much to young! Aren't you worried about your daughter being sexually active at this age too?
Have you ever read the leaflet that comes in a packet of pills? The side effects are aweful and long term and serious. Over 50% of women wo start taking the pill come off it each year because they can't deal with the side effects.
I would encourage your daughter to seperate love from lust. She doesn't need to be sexually active right now (not least beacsue she is below the age of consent!).
Try teaching your daughter to value her body. It is a precious thing and shouldn't be given away lightly. By encouraging her to take contraceptives and become sexually active so young you are opening the world of STD's, pregnancy and lack of respect for the body to her. Do you really want this?!
I would contact the charity LIFE UK for more advice. hey really are excellent and work with people in your/your daughters situation all the time.

Other then just putting her on a contraceptive, I would have a chat with her, make sure she understands her cycle & when she is fertle.
I had an early start with my steady boyfriends as well, but make sure she knows that she really should wait, and that its something that she can only give away once, and make sure this is who, and when she is willing to do that.
I would make her a private Dr's appt that you dont even go into, and get the Dr to ask her if she is sexually active, and if so she needs to start having Pap's done, and blood work done.
Thing about her being on a contraceptive is okay you dont have to worry about your baby having babies, but there are so many STD's and check out this webpage www.tellsomeone.ca and make sure she is aware of this as well..... and make sure she knows that everyone thinks it will never happen to them, but then ask why it has happened to them when it does!
Educate her, is what Im trying to tell you most, Im 27 and still remember the education my mother taught me, and really cant beleive even now, the amount of my friends that do not know their body and their monthly cycle because they just went on the pill or other types of precations and were never taught. re-eduacte yourself and teach her.

I think taking the pill is a sensible option. As a father you might find the idea of your daughter having sex a bit upsetting, which is only natural, but rather than making a big issue over it would be better if you let her know that you would rather she could approach you if she needs advice. Try to be sensitive about it, and advise her that it is important she uses condoms as well if they are having sex. There is always the possibility that they are not having sex - some girls do prefer to wait, but others seem to grow up so much younger these days.

You might point out Section 9 of the Sexual Offence Act 2003 to the boyfrind however...
9 Sexual activity with a child
(1) A person aged 18 or over (A) commits an offence if-
(a) he intentionally touches another person (B),
(b) the touching is sexual, and
(c) either-
(i) B is under 16 and A does not reasonably believe that B is 16 or over, or
(ii) B is under 13
A little known but fairly devastating piece of legislation...

If she's your 5 year old daughter (i5?), yes, she is far to young. If she's your 15 year old daughter, then no, she's getting a bit old to be learning about contraceptives and you should seriously think about teaching her about them! Here's the results from a survey I found: 2. Average age: 16. Age range: 13 - 20. 45.8% under 16, 54.2% 16 and older. According to that you have about a 45% chance she's already had sex. Might want to talk with her.

Better safe than sorry! If you don't talk to her and provide her with protection and teach her responsibility she may have sex anyway and you will be a grandpa before you know it.
She is not too young for the pill, but at 15 she doesn't need to jump into anything too fast ( and tell her that. Sex is complicating) Also teach her that teenage boys lie. Many of them know little about sex and will tell girls that they can't get pregnant if they follow certain rules, like the whole pulling out before ejaculation thing ( which so WON'T Work!). Ya know, things like that. Be sure she knows stupid things like that are not real contraceptives.

I'd rather my daughter take contraceptives than have a baby!!! If shes in a steady relationship then yes but I believe nowadays most 15 years olds should be given the opportunity to go on the pill then we wouldn't have so many unplanned pregnancies.

Talk with your daughter. Let her know you are not condoning her and her boyfriend to have a sexual relationship, however, she has a future that she needs to think about, and during "the moment" it might not be on her mind. Also, tell her to keep them at home, not to let anyone know, so if they are to become sexual she should still insist on using a condom. The pill does not prevent STD's. Tell her if some one is find out and may question her, she can always say its a low dose to help keep her cycle regulated. I hate to have you lie or her to lie, but kids are harsh these days... and a lot of young athletes (female) are having to use the pill for regulatating their cycle.

It is far better to take the pill than for her to end up pregnant at such a young age. You would be wise to allow her to take it at least you know she is protecting herself from pregnancy.
Perhaps delicately suggest the use of condoms as well. Might sound like going over the top but if she is going to have sex she must protect herself in every way not just pregnancy. Good luck.

I think you mean 15 not i5 and that is to young to be having sex you should be trying to discouraging her instead of encouraging it. her body is still going thru changes but if you are going to allow her to have sex talk to her about all the disease she can get and then take her to the doctors. I realized they are going to do what they want but it helps if they know all the facts and risked involved? i went thru it with my niece and in the end she decide it wasn't worth it that young she waited until she was older and glad that she did. but good luck anyways
