You should have started that a long time ago with open communication.

If you waited this long... Be patient, communicate and be open minded now.

answers from Anchorage on

You need open communication, but in addition take her to see her doctor, or if she does not have one, to someplace like Planned Parenthood so she can talk to a health care professional and ask anything she may not feel comfortable discussing with you, and learn how to be safe if she is engaging in sexual acts.

Hellen is this you again??

If it is you Hellen then you need to talk to someone. Do you have any adult that you trust that you can talk to? Parents?? Participating in sexual acts at your young age of 13 will have long lasting negative effects on your body and mind.

Please find some help...

Welcome to mamapedia!!

uuumm...it's a tad late...if you think she's already sexually active. This is something that should be talked about over the years...not just one talk...you, as the parent, should be modeling the behavior...giving them guidance along with morals, values and self-worth.

Get her in the car for a long ride. Start talking about sex and the precautions she needs to take so she doesn't become a mother by 17.

Ask her if she has any questions - as the kids telling other kids - can lead to diseases and pregnancy....remind her that if she is sexually active and "faithful" that HE will be faithful. You can't undo it. But you can stop until you are in a situation where - should you get pregnant - you can provide for the child and support him/her.

Good luck!!

Calmly. As a young woman. With facts. If you freak out, you will lose communication and that is the LAST thing you want.

Is this your first conversation? If so, you should see what she knows and what she wants to talk about. Establish trust first and bring her to the doctor to get checked out.

answers from Portland on

Talk to her. Just talk. (Don't yell, don't tell her how disappointed you are or that she's ruined her life. Just talk.) Planned Parenthood and other family planning clinics do offer classes; that would be a good place to start if you just don't know what to say. They have facilitators who can at least give your girl some good information.

Tell her you love her. Tell her that her future is important and that premarital sex always runs the potential risk of limiting her future options.Talk to her about guys, relationships, what they want at this age and ask her what she wants too. What does she see for her future? Aspire to? And take her to a gyn and get her on a birth control program that she can manage AND get her some condoms and insist that she uses them, because STDs can make your life miserable.

answers from Fresno on

First thing, you need to be calm, and sit down and talk, do not yell at her. And just tell her What can happen, if she is not careful, unplanned pregnancy's, STD'S. And I know all us moms want our child to wait, well at least I do, but at 16 I was having sex, so it is natural. Just watch the way you world it, you don't want to loose the bond you guys have, and try not to gross her out either..
