    The damage is already done but you still have time! Get her on birth control and make sure she gets an STD/STI screening every 6 months. Teenagers like to do things they arent suppose to do its an adrenaline rush! So not to say condone it but being that its gonna be done regardless wouldnt you like to at least know  and know she is safe? When I started having sex I was 15 and once my mom found out it was like ehhhh why bother lol hope this helps

     

    BTW with teens its like quick sand... the more you panic the faster you sink!

    It wasn't that long ago that I was that teenage daughter on a similiar situation & now I'm a mom. Always let your daughter know your there for her, a teenager will always do want & go against what you force them not 2 do out of rebellion. Pray about with your daughter, keep communication open even when she doesn't want to and protect her. Talk to her about safe sex and safest sex. Giving her some of your life lesson about sex and boys may even help. Kids nowadays know more than we think and it's not always the right info. Good luck and God bless.

    Also - just thought about this, maybe you need to take the cell phone away temporarily or change her service to something basic where she can't text pictures? Worst thing that could happen is if she sends a provocative video or picture to a friend and it ends up spreading at school or the Internet! She needs to understand that that's a risk too!

    Sorry to hear that Tia! Unfortunately, most of us face challenges like these with our children, and don't always have full control of them, no matter how well we keep tabs on them.

    Do you think it might be influence from friends? Or even things she is watching on TV or hearing from music?

     

    I suggest engaging her in extra curricular activities, so that she won't even have the time for things like these. Also, talk to her about the risks of pregnancy and STDs. Maybe take her to a local women's shelter or Planned Parenthood, where someone can talk to her. Sometimes it helps to hear from someone else, to realize what risks she's taking. Maybe you can have her doctor talk to her at her next appointment or physical? She needs to understand that she has her whole life ahead of her and there's a lot more out there for her than this.

     

    And definitely build a strong relationship with her! If she feels she can come to you about anything, then hopefully things will start getting back on track soon.
