I make it very clear that I think it's best to wait to have sex until she is older, but that whenever she decides to have sex, it is imperative that she takes the appropriate precautions to prevent STDs and pregnancy. I would absolutely provide birth control.
I don't think that being offered birth control makes kids more likely to have sex; if anything, comprehensive sex ed tends to delay the onset of sexual activity. My mom talked to me about birth control and offered to take me to the doctor to get on the pill, and I didn't have sex until I was out of college.
Excellent post!
