MOMS OF TEENAGE GIRLS: If you?

Question

suspected that your teenager was about to become sexually active what would you do?

Answer 1

First be very sure that she is about to make no mistakes about it because she will deny it if you do not have a close relationship to be able to openly talk. tell her her options about birth control and VD. the consequences of what can happen if not protected etc.... (this is great if you have the open relationship) if you suspect it maybe you could call her guidance councelor at school for advice on how to approach the subject. When my daughter announced she wanted to have sex instead of going nuts (on the inside i was panicing) i told her how proud i was she came to me first so we could talk about it. all girls talk about it (didnt we at one time without actually doing it) together we went to the guidance counslor and talked together and she changed her mind.

Answer 2

well I think parents of girls should start talking to them at the age of 12/13 about sex. so if you suspect your daughter is having sex you better step in and talk to her about the ways to sexually protect herself. don't go about it accusing her of doing anything, just tell her that you want to sit down and have a chat about it. you have to be open to her about giving her options. I would tell her that you think abstinence is best, but if she opts to have sex then there are some ways to keep her safe from STD's and becoming pregnant. Tell her that you are going to take her in to the doctor and put her on birth control if neccessary, and make sure you make condoms available to her. this way if she chooses to do her thang she will have the opportunity to protect it. you have to remember that you can't stop her from doing it, if she wants to she will find a way no matter what! so make your self readily avavilable to her and be open with what you deliver and are willing to recieve from her.
