My 16 year old daughters want to have sex. What do I do?

This is an age old probelm and for those of us that have teen age girls a very hard one. For Dads its an absolute "NO" and that's the end of it and for most Moms it's not that easy either. Remember you were once a teen-age girl and we all know that unless you're very strong willed sex will eventually happen. How and when are not my questions. "Is she protected?" and not just from pregnancy. In the world that we live in sex can be deadly. "Is she informed?" ,and I don't mean just from her school health class, have you as the parent sat down and talked to her about not only the risks of pregnancy and disease but about her reputation? Have you given her all of the amunnition she needs to make the right decision for herself. Our values matter but hers are the ones we need to trust now. if she decides to have sex please don't judge her! love her and give her all of the resources that she will need to be safe. " the dreaded Pill" and "Condoms". Not all parents are going to like my answer but to me it's better to arm my daughter with all of the information and protection she needs in the world today.Last but not least feel priviledged that your daughter feels comfortable enough to talk to you and not just her friends that may give her bad advice!

At her age the more you demand and punish for something like this the more your teenager will rebel by doing it even more,

Sit the teenager down talk to them as if an adult after all in their mind they are adults express your concerns of pregnancy and diseases suggest protection but remain clam

Was that a statement or a request, because that's 2 completely different scenarios.

Just say no.  Do you want another batch of kids or grandkids? If she's sixteen she's not ready to take care of herself let alone a kid. So therefore you'll end up being a second parent on the verge of a... keep reading →
