[quote=Anonymous]Have a no shame talk re birth control. Get her gyno appointment, she needs screening for STDs and regular pap now as well as discussing different options for BC.

Also have no shame discussions re what she should do if she thinks she might be pregnant (pregnancy tests, plan B, other options) and that she should come to you as soon as she is concerned/worried/ something wrong. That she will NOT get in trouble with you if she thinks she’s in “trouble”.

Also discuss relationship abuse (that she shouldn’t do anything she’s uncomfortable with, not ready for, feel pressure, even if she’s said yes before she can say no at any time). Also no nudes, asking for, sending, no.

I have BTDT. These discussions were so uncomfortable for me but I had read you should get ahead of the problem and have them early which I did. I really hoped by DD would wait but she had a serious boyfriend in 10th grade and she came to me asking for help getting BC so I helped her get it. And then she wanted a different kind later on because she didn’t like taking a daily pill. And then she had a pregnancy scare and she came to me in 12th grade (was false alarm). I took all of my emotions out of it and kept my word that I would help her if she needed it. Now I didn’t allow her BF to sleep over or them to have sex in the house. But I am glad that I had those talks and that she did in fact come to me because I didn’t want a pregnant teen. [/quote]
