My 12 year old daughter wants to be a prostitute. How do I convince her to choose a different career path?

Question

I was sad when she told me this.

Answer 1

I 'm thinking that she will out grow this.

My nephew wants to be a priest because his friends dad is one. I asked him what kind of job a priest does and he didn't know. If you can bare to hear your daughters answer, ask her what makes her want this type of job. She might have seen the movie Pretty Women where it glamorized the job.

When I was a kid I wanted to be a truck driver because I loved Smokey and the Bandit. LOL!

Answer 2

Where do you think that she got the idea? Maybe you should limit what you allow her to watch on TV. That can have a great impact on a child. Try talking to her about what exactly a prostitute is and why it is bad physically and morally. If that doesn't work, there are also parental help groups that you can find that will consult you and her to see why she would want to do somthing like that. You can find such a group in your area by calling 1-800-882-1250. Maybe there are some self-esteem issues with her that you are not aware of. Good luck.

Answer 3

Hire a real prostitute...someone with a good heart, They don't enjoy it!!!!! Tell the prostitute to talk to her about the Crap they have to do...
And Puhleez....ask her where she got the idea ...most importantly is ask her what she thinks a prostitute does...maybe she mistook prostitute for another word...my cousin said asked me what a condom was...i was shocked...I later found out she was moving into a condomenium...LOL, maybe she just doesn't understand what the word means.

Answer 4

You should let her watch the show on HBO hookers at the point i know it isnt something a child should see but if she is 12 and is already talking like that and telling her mother she wants to sell her body for money then i think she is ready to see it just watch it with her and point out how miserable they are and how sad poor and angry they become and that 90% of them are drug addicted and have been raped molested and abused it will prove alot to her and show her the real side of prostatoding

Answer 5

is she kiddin?? . . . . because recently on the news has been dedicated to prostitution. evri1 has been sayn it 4 a laff. id suggest to tell her what prostitution leads into drugs alcohol, and that its not safe on the streets with total weirdos around. what she loves doing the most? maybe suggest to base a job upon the thing she loves the most. tell her better pay in that job its will be safe and warm instead of wondering the street at god knows when it night, good luck.

Answer 6

Scare her into changing her mind. Let her know (ie through media) that prostitutes lead poor, miserable lives, selling her body to men who's only interested in lying down with her instead of loving her for who she is. They are at risk for stds and are constantly at service of pimps who takes part of the money she makes. If they're not murdered, they die from disease.
Fortunately, your daughter's only 12. It will prolly be easier to convince her than if she's older and you have lots of time to do that. If scaring her doesn't help, you could MAKE her do what you want.

Answer 7

Whoa..................she needs HELP!
How in the world does she know about prostitutes............
I have found when a girl wishes to be a prostitute it's because she's not loved at home and she's being yelled at a lot.
Is there really more to this story than what you're saying.....

Answer 8

You tell her that she is worth more than that and she should NEVER sell what she should save for someone she loves.

Also....tell her that prostitutes are often beat up or killed, or raped.

Tell her that she will be much prouder of herself and her profession if she goes to school and gets a real job

Answer 9

Well basicly its normal to be sad at times like this, umm i think if she wants to be a prostitute umm then umm to convince her to have a different path get a job for her and force her to it everyday ummm. if she doesnt come home with a paycheck that means she didnt go to work. that week.! umm therefor you have to beat the living **** outta her umm should work ae.

Answer 10

There's something mentally wrong with your daughter that she would want to be a prostitiute......no one truely wants to be a prostitute...you see these junkies on cops selling there body for sex and money!!! Educate you daughter....be the parent and get her help!!!
