[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How close are you to both her parents?  Is there any chance of severe punishment, namely abuse?  But that's how it went down in my neighborhood growing up, when parents found out a girl was having sex.   Dads usually beat the crap out of them.  If you don't think that's a likelihood, tell. If you do, approach the girl if you can.  Or a school counselor.[/quote]

There would be no abuse but I do know this would be taken as very shameful and a very grave disappointment. They would not want anyone to know this was taking place in their family. Her mother is one of my closest friends and I know that she would be humiliated by this. This is why my first reaction was both to call her immediately and to take a pause and think about if this is the right thing to do.[/quote]

I think you are conflating two issues that should be separated:

1) Yes, teenagers have sex and , no, though we can " check in " on BC and self esteem/ healthy relationships, we can't " make them stop"

2) the 13 year old is a child, not physically mature enough to be having sex and def not emotionally mature enough. She is being abused . She is too young for consent and this isn't " sex" , its sexual abuse.

Yes, you should tell your friend and likely this is a police matter
